Select business jurisdiction
Pick between mainland Dubai and free zones for registering your construction company. Your choice of jurisdiction should depend on your business requirements. Remember that construction companies in mainland require local sponsor(s), while in free zone they have to follow more restrictions.

Seek your initial approval from the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) in Dubai. This approval involves verifying the chosen company name and business activities. Also, your construction business may need additional permits such as signage, environment, health, and safety.
Prepare the MoA
