WhatsApp quoteChoosing Fujairah mainland gives you a licence that landlords, government departments and large corporate clients recognise without a second thought. Since the 2021 ownership reforms, most Fujairah mainland activities allow 100% foreign ownership, which removed the biggest objection founders used to have. Consulting is the most common professional licence in the UAE. One licence can normally list several consulting sub-activities, and you can invoice customers worldwide from day one. In practice, external approvals for business consulting are: none for general management consulting; financial, legal and engineering advice have separate rules.
