Cleaning & Facilities Management in the UAE for Egyptians

Commercial and residential cleaning, maintenance and integrated facilities management

A mainland company in Dubai can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. Mainland company formation in Dubai is the right choice when your customers are inside the UAE, when you need a shop, clinic or contracting classification, or when visa quota matters. Payments between Egypt and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, Egyptian pound (EGP) transfers settle without delay and UAE banks are familiar with Egyptian business profiles. Just as important, cleaning & Facilities Management in Dubai means commercial and residential cleaning, maintenance and integrated facilities management, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.

Why Dubai

Government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. Businesses that benefit most from Dubai mainland licensing include retail, restaurants, contracting, real estate brokerage and consulting with government clients, because they serve customers on site across the emirate.
