Best Areas for Commercial Real Estate in Dubai
Business owners and entrepreneurs can use the mainland of Dubai or a free zone to establish a company. The ownership regulations vary between the two.
Non-UAE citizens own one hundred percent of the company in a free zone. Foreign nationals can only do commerce and trade with other non-UAE citizens. On Dubai's mainland, foreign nationals had to have a UAE national sponsor who owned a 51% stake in the company. However, with implementing the rule on 100 percent foreign ownership in 2018, this requirement was changed.
Even though both zones allow 100 percent foreign ownership, Dubai's mainland zones restrict foreign ownership to a few specific types of businesses. 95% of new firms in Dubai are contemplating setting up shop in a free zone.
