WhatsApp quoteChoosing Dubai mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. A mainland company in Dubai can hold a mainland office, hire staff under MOHRE contracts and register with the Chamber of Commerce for tenders. Just as important, typical examples of this activity include dental clinic, physiotherapy centre, home healthcare and aesthetic clinic, which can generally sit together on one Dubai licence. The most common businesses Singaporeans open through GoldenKey are in fintech, logistics, trading and technology, although Dubai supports almost any activity.
Why Dubai
A Dubai mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match. Put simply, government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges.
