To successfully complete the process of Dubai mainland company formation, specific documentation must be submitted in compliance with the guidelines set by the Department of Economic Development (DED). The process begins with providing valid passport copies of all shareholders and managers involved in the business.

If any individuals are UAE residents, copies of their residence visas and Emirates IDs are also required. Additionally, if a shareholder is currently employed in the UAE, a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from their existing sponsor may be necessary. Applicants must also submit a list of 3 to 5 proposed trade names for approval by the DED. Once a name is approved, an Initial Approval Certificate is issued, allowing the applicant to proceed with the next steps in the Dubai mainland company formation process.

A crucial document is the Memorandum of Association (MOA), which outlines the company’s ownership structure, activities, and responsibilities of each partner. This must be signed by all shareholders. Moreover, proof of a physical office address in Dubai is required, provided through a tenancy contract registered with Ejari. Preparing and submitting these documents accurately ensures a smooth and efficient path toward completing your Dubai mainland company formation.
