Dubai Mainland Company Formation for Qataris

Why Dubai

Just as important, businesses that benefit most from Dubai mainland licensing include retail, restaurants, contracting, real estate brokerage and consulting with government customers, because they serve customers on site across the emirate. In short, government and semi-government tenders in Dubai require a mainland licence and Chamber of Commerce membership, both of which GoldenKey arranges. Many Qatari founders run Dubai companies alongside an existing business in Qatar, using the UAE entity for international invoicing and regional sales.
