Overview

What is a Mainland Company?

A mainland company is licensed by the Dubai government, so it can trade directly across the UAE market, with fewer limits on where and with whom you do business. Dubai mainland licences are issued through the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), and some activities also need approvals from other departments.
Emirco guides you through choosing your activity, preparing documents, obtaining the licence and completing any approvals needed. You get one point of contact from your first call to your licence.

What Our Clients Say

Alhamdulillah, by the grace of Almighty Allah, we have returned from our Umrah journey safely under the group of Emirco Travels. Even though our group was the first batch and was very small-just two families and two bachelors-we shared such wonderful mutual understanding throughout our sacred journey. May Allah accept all our Umrahs and Tawafs, and grant us this blessed opportunity again and again to visit that sacred land! Thank you, dear Emirco Travels & Ustad, as well as Ameer of this group Moulavi Afsal Ahsani Kamil Saqafi, for your guidance and support. Dear Ustad and group members, please remember me in your prayers, and I will keep you all in mine as well. May Allah bless Ustad and group members with good health and well-being. Insha'Allah, we will meet again on another sacred journey like this!

Ahmed Adnan

Alhamdulillah, we are back home safely after a beautiful Umrah journey. My wife, son and I are grateful to Allah for giving us this opportunity and blessing us with such lovely people to share it with. Although we were a small group, it felt like travelling with family. The kindness, care and support from everyone made this trip even more memorable for us. JazakAllahu Khairan to Emirco Travels for arranging the journey, and to our dear Ustad, Moulavi Afsal Ahsani Kamil Saqafi, for guiding us throughout. We will always cherish these moments and the people we shared them with. May Allah accept our worship, forgive our shortcomings and invite us all back to Makkah and Madinah. Please remember our family in your duas, as we will remember you in ours. May Allah keep you all in good health and bless us with another journey together, Insha'Allah.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a Mainland and a Free Zone company?

A mainland company can trade directly across the UAE market, while a Free Zone company is typically limited to operating within its zone or through a distributor, with some exceptions. Each has different licensing, office and ownership rules. We help you choose what suits your activity.

For many activities, yes. Some activities may still require a UAE national partner or service agent. We confirm the rules for your activity before you commit.

It depends on what your business does. Commercial licences cover trading, professional licences cover services and expertise, and manufacturing licences cover production. Tell us your activity and we will confirm the right one.

Mainland companies generally need a registered office address, usually supported by a tenancy contract. Requirements can vary by activity, and we guide you on the options that fit your license.

Yes. We handle amendments to mainland and free zone licences, such as activity or details changes.

It depends on your activity, the approvals required and how quickly documents are ready. We give you an expected timeline up front.
