Accessing services for mainland companies in Dubai

If you run a mainland company in Dubai — or you are just setting one up — a range of support services is available through official channels. This guide walks through the main ones: everyday administrative help, legal counselling and mediation, arbitration for commercial disputes, utilities, and postal and courier services. Everything below is drawn from the official guidance so you know where to look and who to ask.

How to reach each service

  1. 1

    Everyday administrative and business support

    A cluster of general services covers the routine needs of a company. These include issuing NOC letters and 'To whom it may concern' letters, secretarial help, photocopy and printing services, transportation, labour accommodation, training in subject matter, business incubators, and credit rating services. Start here when you need an official letter or day-to-day operational backing.

  2. 2

    Legal advice and mediation

    Business startups and established companies may access legal counselling and business advice from the government. Two official routes are provided: Legal consultation and mediation via the Abu Dhabi Chamber, and Mediation via the Dubai Chamber. Use these when you want guidance before a dispute escalates.

  3. 3

    Arbitration for commercial disputes

    Arbitration is becoming an optimal method for parties to resolve their commercial disputes in the UAE. If mediation does not settle the matter, arbitration services offer a structured path to a binding outcome for commercial disagreements.

  4. 4

    Utilities and telecommunications

    Companies need power, water and connectivity to operate. Read the official guidance about getting public utilities and telecommunication services, which explains how to set these up for your business premises.

  5. 5

    Postal and courier services

    Emirates Post offers postal services, including a post box, and courier services. It also offers non-postal services such as utility bill payment and marketing solutions. Read about the mail services and how to apply for a PO box for your company.
