Tips for a Smooth Business Setup in Mainland Dubai

Hi everyone,

I’ve been researching business setup in mainland Dubai and wanted to hear some real experiences. From what I understand, setting up in Dubai mainland allows you to trade freely within the local market and work with government clients, which is a big advantage.

However, the licensing process, choosing the right business activity, and finding a reliable local sponsor can be a bit challenging. Has anyone recently gone through the process? Any advice on reducing costs or speeding up approvals would be really helpful.
