What is trade licensing?
A UAE trade license is the legal permit that lets your company operate. The type you need — commercial, professional or industrial — depends on your activities, and the wrong choice can limit your business or inflate your costs.
We map your intended activities to the correct license and authority, reserve your trade name, secure approvals and issue the license, so you start on the right footing from day one.
