If more than one partner involve to open a Professional License in Dubai; then this type of a setup is call a civil company.  The civil company structure is truly a partnership in which the shareholders share the full 100% liability of the company.  Further along with the ownership feature, a Civil Company is run and operate very similar to the Sole Professional License in Dubai.

Also in Dubai and the UAE; there are some strict naming rules for companies.  If you wish to bypass these rules, then the way to go is through a Branch of a Foreign Company.  UAE law allows a Branch to carry the same name as that of the Foreign Head Office.

Can we setup our Professional License in Dubai free zone?

Yes you can also setup your Professional License in Dubai in one of its many free trade zone; and also in other free trade zone of the UAE.  Now the question is why I should open my Professional license in Dubai free zone. The answer is not that much simple; but the only reason for us to choose free zone for your Professional License Dubai; is when the free trade zone offers devoted services for the business; which you are looking to start.

For example, the Dubai Media City is a famous place for media and advertising companies.  Similarly Dubai internet city is a famous free zone for software and computer programming as well as internet companies. Since the 100% expat ownership structure is allow to main land companies; if they are forming a Professional License Dubai; there is not much explanation for choosing a Free Zone to form a Professional License in Dubai free zone.

But we will recommend you to take this type of a license within a Free Zone; only if you plan to provide your services to clients outside the UAE. But also note that you are not bond to provide service only outside the UAE; you can also provide services to UAE mainland as well without any restriction. Second most important reason for choosing of free zone is that remove the Headache of LSA. If you are going to start your business with a very low budget; and with one or 2 staff then free zone is a better place for you.
