Omar Maqsood, an Indian national, approached Dar Aluloom International Business Consultancy for business setup support for his transport company in Dubai. His requirement included establishing the business with a Dubai Mainland License and arranging a visa quota of 10 visas. While Dubai Free Zone Business Setup is a popular option for many entrepreneurs, Omar’s project required a mainland structure.
