About Dubai
Why Dubai
Since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Dubai mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection company owners used to have. Dubai is the UAE's commercial capital — trade anywhere in the UAE with a Dubai DET licence, and GoldenKey registers mainland companies there with the economic department week in, week out. In our experience, typical examples of this activity include commercial cleaning, building maintenance, pest control and facilities management, which can typically sit together on one Dubai licence. Cleaning & Facilities Management in Dubai means commercial and residential cleaning, maintenance and integrated facilities management, and it is licensed as a commercial activity.
Just as important, instant Licence lets some activities start within minutes with a one-year office exemption. Dubai mainland licences are issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days. For cleaning & facilities management, Dubai offers the office options such a business actually needs and a visa quota that can grow with the team.
