Overall about 25 % of the volume of its garment production goes into export markets, leaving 75 % for domestic consumption. Export of garments and accessories from India are routed to all corners of the world. However, the USA, EU, and Canada together account for 70% of world exports.

How to setup a Garment Company in Dubai, UAE Once you decide to establish a garment company in Dubai, UAE, the second question that comes to your mind is the objective for setting up the company. There are two available jurisdictions in UAE to establish a company in UAE. It is very important to identify the right jurisdiction to support and cater to your objectives. In this article, we will discuss how to establish a garment company in Dubai, UAE. Identify the Right Jurisdiction

Depending on the objective of the business, the company can be incorporated either in a Free Zone or in Mainland.

In Free Zone, the expatriate partner or the corporate body can have 100% ownership of the company. Moreover, the corporate entity can establish its operations either as the Branch of Foreign Company or as a Subsidiary.

In Mainland, the expatriate partner or corporate body can establish the company with the legal structure Limited Liability. But the expatriate individual partner or body corporate cannot own 100% ownership over the business. There is a requirement that the UAE National has to hold a minimum of 51% share of the company and the expatriate can only own a maximum of 49% share.

Things to Keep in Mind before Setting up a Garment Business in UAE:

It is very important to study the market and understand the pros and cons of each jurisdiction before establishing the company in UAE. Secondly, the investor also should be aware of the expansion plan while selecting the Jurisdiction. Associating with the right consultant to provide 360-degree service is very crucial for establishing the company in UAE.

The required documents for incorporating the company depend on the Jurisdiction and also on the proposed legal structure. For the body corporate, some of the corporate documents need to get authenticated from the country of origin.

Also, stay updated with the latest trends, different styles, and unique designs of fabric and clothing lines to have a deep knowledge of your industry. Be customer-friendly always to get an edge over your competitors in the market.
