Nope! The ownership rules have evolved beautifully. You can now own your Dubai mainland business setup entirely, depending on your sector. Most industries support 100% foreign ownership. Some sensitive sectors may require partnership, but we'll clarify this specific to your business.

Costs are reasonable! License fees start around AED 800-1,500, though total investment depends on your office space and industry. Dubai mainland is competitive priced compared to its prestige. You're paying for location and market access, not artificial markups.
