Procedures to start a Business in Dubai

Business in Dubai Mainland is one of the most in-demand business destinations. Because of the numerous advantages, such as no taxes, a business-friendly government, and a strategic location, entrepreneurs from all over the world choose to establish their businesses here. Before establishing a business in the Mainland, one must comply with a slew of rules and regulations. In order to get started, here are the steps you need to follow.

Choosing a Business Activity

In order to begin the registration and licensing process, it is necessary to determine the legal structure and economic activities of the firm. Joint Liability Company (JLC), Simple Commandite Company (SCC), Limited Liability Company (LLC), Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC), and Private Joint Stock Company (PrJSC) are all examples of company structures. When deciding on a business legal structure, nationality and the nature of the firm are the most important factors.

A company’s name has been approved by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED). In order to register and operate a business in mainland Dubai, investors must adhere to the regulations provided by the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED). However, we provide company registration services that are compliant with Dubai legislation.

Service Providers / Local Sponsors

First, you must find a local sponsor or business partner in the United Arab Emirates to help you get started. You can, however, agree that the local sponsor will not be involved in your company’s commercial operations or profit-sharing.

Trade License for the establishment of a business in the United Arab Emirates

Depending on the licensing type, there are three types of company registrations in Dubai:

• First, you must have a commercial license (Commercial)
• Licensing for Professional Services (Vocational)
• Permit to Operate a Business (Industrial License)

Initial Approval for Company Formation in Dubai on the Mainland

The initial approval certificate will be issued once the trade name has been registered. The initial certificate of approval is required for subsequent processing and approval from other government authorities, such as the Ministry of Economy, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Justice, and Civil Defense.

Investors from outside the country are needed to first secure authorization from the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners’ Affairs. In the absence of a commercial license, an investor’s initial clearance does not allow them to begin trading activities.

Office Space in Dubai for the Establishment of a Company

It is necessary to have an office address that has been approved by the Dubai Municipality before starting a business on the mainland of Dubai. Company setup in Dubai is dependent on the availability of office space, the length of time the tenancy contract is active, and the sort of license the investor has applied for.

Choosing a site for the establishment of your company

In Dubai, a physical address is required for any business. WBS  Business Consultant will assist you in finding a location for your business that satisfies all of DED’s criteria. A rent agreement (MoU) registered with Ejari is required for attestation purposes in Dubai, where your firm will be based.

You may be allowed to use the same address to apply for a new trade license. In Dubai, you’d have to take into account the following:

• The LSA or Sponsor must be owned by the same person.
• There can’t be more than 10 licenses per place owned by the local party.
• Each allocated space must have at least 200 square feet of floor space.
