A mainland licence lets you invoice any customer in the UAE directly, take government contracts and open premises anywhere in the emirate. It costs more and asks more of you. This is when that is worth it.
A mainland licence is for direct UAE trading, local premises, and on-shore contracts.
Sell to UAE customers without a second route.
Use a shop, clinic, office, warehouse, or workshop.
Bid for public-sector and semi-government contracts.
Run local staff, visas, and day-to-day activity in one setup.
Broader scope, heavier setup, and more operating obligations than a free zone.
Three to six weeks end to end — the licence issues quickly, Ejari, MOHRE quotas and bank onboarding set the calendar.
Mainland runs higher than free zone because DED/DET fees, Ejari, MoJ notarisation and MOHRE quotas all apply.
Sell directly into the UAE market under one operating licence.
Operate from a customer-facing location outside a free zone.
Bid for public-sector work or licence-sensitive activities.
Scale visas, premises, and daily operations in one structure.
Run local staff, contracts, and premises without extra workarounds.
Every filing, deadline, and document — visible on iOS and Android. Same evidence you already see in the console, now portable.
Bank suitability depends on your activity, ownership, documents and transaction profile.
Examples only. The right authority depends on activity, visa needs, and where you need to contract.
Tell us the activity and where your customers are. We confirm whether mainland is required.
No obligation. We tell you if it is not the right route.
Business banking
We assess your business profile, prepare the evidence banks need, and guide you through the right application route.
Corporate tax
UAE corporate tax registration, annual returns, and the deadlines that carry penalties.
Renewals & filings
Licence, establishment card, chamber, tenancy, visas and tax returns each renew on their own clock. We put them on one, and run it.
Visas and residence
Every hire is a sequence of government steps. Missing one restarts the clock.
Best for UAE operations with lower entry cost and simpler setup.

Sonsoto quoted us a line-item budget for the licence, visas and the bank pack up front. Nothing crept in later. That alone was worth the fee.
I’d already been rejected by two banks. Sonsoto told me why, changed the pack, and we opened with WIO in three weeks. Straight answers, no theatre.
They caught a corporate-tax filing we were about to miss and re-scoped the renewals so we stopped paying twice for the same work. Now they run everything.
We’d spoken to four firms and got four different price sheets. Sonsoto was the only one that showed us where the extras came from — and we didn’t need them.
Golden Visa done, family visas done, licence renewed. Same team, same WhatsApp thread. I don’t chase PRO agents anymore.
They told me RAK was a better fit than Dubai for our margin. I’d already paid a deposit somewhere else. They still refunded my Sonsoto retainer and helped me exit.
More clients onboarded, higher payout.
Straight to the account.
More referrals unlocks higher payouts.
