Onshore Access & Dual-Licensing
Free zone entities primarily operate within their zone and internationally. For onshore UAE trading, you can use distributors/agents or apply for dual-licensing where permitted.
| Approach | How It Works | When to Use |
|---|---|---|
| Local Distributor/Agent | Contract with a mainland distributor to sell onshore. | Trading and product distribution without creating a mainland entity. |
| Dual-Licensing (Zone-Specific) | Some zones allow additional onshore permissions for certain activities. | Service firms needing limited onshore scope without a full mainland setup. |
| Mainland Subsidiary/Branch | Create a mainland entity while keeping your FZ parent company. | When onshore operations grow and you need full UAE access. |
