Mainland Industrial Company Formation
Mainland industrial company formation lets you do business anywhere in the UAE and abroad. Free zones, on the other hand, limit your operations to their specific area. For industrial businesses, being in the mainland means you can supply the local market and work on government projects.
The Department of Economic Development (DED) manages the registration. For industrial activities, you may also need approval from the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology.
Steps to Set Up an Industrial Company
Here’s the simple process for industrial company formation in UAE:
- Choose your business activity from the DED list.
- Submit an application to reserve the trade name.
- Get initial approvals from the DED and other authorities.
- Lease an approved industrial facility or warehouse space.
- Get your final license after submitting documents and paying fees.
To set up a business in the UAE from the UK, you need legalised documents such as your passport copy and company papers.
Costs to Consider

- Warehouse or office rent
- Government fees
