UAE Business License

The UAE is very particular about laws and regulations. Setting up or running a business here requires more than a great idea. It requires a valid UAE business license. Navigating the licensing process in the UAE is full of intricacies that can get a little too complex. Still, with expert license consulting services, the process becomes easy. Their understanding of the licensing regulations, application as well as renewal process keeps your business compliant and free of wrongful legal scrutiny that may impact your goodwill and operations.

Our Services

The UAE business license can be categorized into three types: Commercial, Professional, and Industrial.

Commercial License

This one is suited for businesses that wish to engage in trading activities, like buying and selling goods. It is essential for retailers, wholesalers, eCommerce platforms, and import-export businesses.

Professional License:

A license of this kind is designed for businesses that want to offer a service. For instance, IT services, consultancies, printing and publication, beauty services or education services. It focuses on expertise or professional skills based on qualifications.

Industrial License:

If you wish to engage in industrial or manufacturing activities, then an Industrial license is for you. Under this license, you can manufacture and process goods from raw materials. These raw materials may be local or imported. Some of the industries that fall under this license are food, textiles, metals, and petroleum products.
