What does Mainland refer to?
“Mainland” in the UAE just refers to the regular, onshore UAE,the seven emirates (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, etc.) outside of any of the 50+ free zones. A mainland company is any business licensed by your Emirate’s Department of Economic Development (DED) and not by a free-zone authority. That one DED license allows you to trade across the UAE, take out offices in any building, sell directly to local customers and tender for government deals freedoms that most firms from free zones are denied.
