Yes, any business from around the world can hold 100% ownership of a company in Dubai. This is possible if the company is set up in a free zone. Dubai free zones allow for full foreign ownership without the need for a local partner. But if you are setting up a business on the mainland (outside the free zones), you will generally need a local partner who holds at least 51% of the shares

Setting up a business in a Dubai free zone has many advantages like:

  • 100% foreign ownership in the free zones
  • No corporate or personal income taxes in the free zones.
  • You can use 100% of your profits and send capital to your home country.
  • The process for setting up a business in a free zone is generally quicker and more straightforward compared to the mainland.
  • Free zones provide modern infrastructure, including office space and facilities.
  • You can hire employees from anywhere in the world
  • Free zones are located in areas with easy access to ports, airports, and major business hubs.
