Do I really need a Freezone license?

It depends. If you want 100% tax benefits and ownership, yes. If you want to trade locally in Dubai markets, Mainland might be better. We help you calculate which is more profitable.

What is the difference between Mainland and Freezone?

Mainland companies are licensed by the DED and can trade directly within the local UAE market. Freezone companies are incorporated within special economic zones and are generally limited to trading within the zone or internationally, but offer 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits.

How long does the entire setup process take?

For most Freezones, we can issue the license within 24-48 hours after security approval. Mainland licenses typically take 3-5 working days. The residency visa process usually takes an additional 5-7 working days.

Do I need a local sponsor to start a business?

Not anymore for most activities. The UAE Commercial Companies Law was amended to allow 100% foreign ownership for more than 1,000 commercial and industrial activities on the mainland.

Can Threefold help with corporate bank account opening?

Yes. We have established partnerships with leading UAE banks (Emirates NBD, Mashreq, Wio). While approval is ultimately at the bank's discretion, our team prepares your profile to maximize success rates.

Are your fees transparent?

100%. We separate Government Fees from our Service Fees in every quote. You get the official receipts. No hidden 'admin' charges.

Mainland

A Mainland license, issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED), allows businesses to operate across the UAE and internationally without geographical restrictions. It enables direct trade within the local market.

Freezone

A Free Zone license is issued by one of the UAE’s many free zones and is designed to encourage foreign investment with benefits such as 100% ownership, tax exemptions, and simplified business setup procedures.

Offshore

An Offshore license allows businesses to establish a company registered in the UAE but operating outside its jurisdiction. Offshore companies are primarily used for international trade, asset protection, and tax planning.
