About DMCS

The Mainland Desk Behind DMCS

We are a specialist desk focused on one thing: Dubai mainland company formation. Not free zones, not offshore, not everything for everyone. The mainland, done at depth, by a team that has filed thousands of DED applications and knows where they break.

Experience & track record

Fifteen Years on the Dubai Mainland

Since 2009, the team behind DMCS has guided more than 10,000 client engagements through UAE company setup, the majority on the mainland. That length of operation matters here: because mainland rules change, and we have filed under both the old regime and the new one.

Our focus

What We Focus On, and What We Don’t

What we doWe specialise in
Dubai mainland company formation: LLC, sole establishment, branch, civil, holding, and subsidiary
DED trade licensing across commercial, professional, and industrial activities
Mainland visas, corporate bank account preparation, and PRO and government liaison
Ongoing compliance: accounting, VAT, and corporate tax filing
Where we send you elsewhereWhen mainland isn’t the answer
If you operate fully remote with no UAE clients, we point you to a free zone option, even though it is not what we sell.
If your activity fits a free zone more cleanly, we say so before you commit.
We name the failure mode first, then the fix.

This is the whole point of a specialist desk. We’d rather lose a setup that was wrong for you than win one that breaks at the bank.

Operating principles

How We Work

We consult first, always

Every engagement starts with mapping your activity to the right structure and giving you an itemized cost. No setup begins before you know what you are paying and why.

Itemized, not “from AED X”

We quote real numbers broken down by line, not a teaser price that triples at signing. What we quote is what you pay, barring genuine third-party fee changes we flag in advance.

One desk, one accountability

The same team handles your license, visa, bank introduction, and compliance. No handoffs between departments, no “that is not our part.”

The right activity code, first time

We confirm your DED activity before filing, because the wrong code is the most common cause of later amendment fees and bank rejections. We get it right at the start.

We name the failure mode first

Where a setup can stall at the DED or the bank, we say so before you commit, and prepare against it. We would rather flag the risk early than meet it at signing.

We stay after the license issues

Formation is the start, not the finish. The same desk handles renewals, accounting, VAT, and corporate tax filing, so your company stays compliant well past launch.

FAQ

The questions every founder asks

Licensing a business through Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism, DET. A mainland company can trade anywhere in the UAE, work with government and private sectors, sponsor visas, and open corporate bank accounts.
AED 18,000 to 25,000 for a solo professional license with one visa. AED 28,000 to 45,000 for a small business with 2 to 3 visas. Regulated activities run AED 40,000 to 80,000+. The number moves with activity, visa count, and office type.
Yes, for most activities, since the 2021 ownership reform. A small list of strategic activities still carries restrictions. We confirm your specific activity before filing.
For most activities, no. Certain professional license structures require a Local Service Agent, an LSA, who has no ownership and no share of profits. We tell you if your case needs one.
Typically 1 to 2 weeks for standard activities. Regulated activities that need external approvals from authorities such as DHA, KHDA, or Dubai Municipality can take 4 to 8 weeks.
Yes, but no honest firm can guarantee it. The bank runs its own compliance review. We de-risk it by structuring the company with banking requirements in mind and preparing the file the way banks expect.
Visa quota on the mainland is tied to your office space, roughly one visa per 80 to 100 sq ft, subject to GDRFA and MOHRE rules. Larger premises mean a larger quota.
Mainland companies are licensed by DET and can trade anywhere in the UAE, including with government. Free zone companies are licensed by their zone and face restrictions trading onshore. For free zone setups, see our sister site companysetupindubai.com.
