Dubai Company Setup Options
Mainland Setup
A mainland business permit lets you operate across the entire UAE market, secure government contracts and open retail or service outlets anywhere. With updated laws, you can now own 100 % of your mainland company in many sectors without a local sponsor.
Free Zone Authorization
A free‑zone authorization lets you establish your company in one of Dubai’s designated economic zones with 100 % foreign ownership, full profit repatriation and zero personal income tax in most cases.
Offshore Incorporation
An offshore incorporation is designed for international trading, asset holding and operations outside the UAE without a physical presence. You’ll receive support for business banking facility opening but cannot trade locally or sponsor UAE visas under this setup.
Branch Office
A branch of your existing foreign company, fully licensed under Mainland rules but not a separate legal entity. It can conduct the same activities as its parent company, bid on government contracts and repatriate profits while leveraging your parent’s brand and track record.

Cost for Business Formation in Dubai
The total investment for company formation in Dubai varies with your chosen jurisdiction (free zone vs mainland), permit category, number of residency certificate and any office‑space requirements.
A service‑based consultancy will incur different fees than a trading‑import business, for example. That’s why CIG crafts customized packages aligned to your exact needs and delivers a full breakdown of every fee so you know the real cost, not just the headline rate.
