Cleaning & Facilities Management in the UAE for Slovaks

Commercial and residential cleaning, maintenance and integrated facilities management

In practice, since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Dubai mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection entrepreneurs used to have. A Dubai mainland licence, released by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), lets your company trade anywhere in the UAE, bid for government work and open as many branches as you need. For most clients, for Slovak founders, the UAE is around 6 hours via Vienna from Bratislava, the UAE is 2 to 3 hours ahead of Slovakia, and English is the business language. In practice, payments between Slovakia and the UAE are routine: the dirham is pegged to the dollar, euro (EUR) transfers settle fast and UAE banks are familiar with Slovak business profiles.

Why Dubai

Government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. Among the strengths of a Dubai mainland licence are unrestricted UAE-wide trading and Government and corporate tenders, and for that reason local service businesses gravitate here.
