And based on these questions, you have to decide which licence to apply for. And which authority would be issuing the license. This is where our business trade  license services in Dubai can help you

For a mainland company, the licence comes from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). For a free zone company, a free zone authority does the license issuance.

You have to fill the form correctly for the new trade license in Dubai because the exact name on your licence depends on the activity you choose. Your licence only covers what is written on it so if you want to add or remove anything, you will have to apply for amendment.

Mainland and Free Zone Trade Licence Options

Here are the two license types you can apply for.

A mainland licence – you can trade across the UAE and sell directly to customers in Dubai. In certain cases, you might need a local sponsor, and some need additional approvals.

A free zone licence – this is for full foreign ownership, but it does not by itself allow you to sell on the mainland.

Our trade license registration Dubai service covers both types of licenses, along with local sponsor arrangements, sponsor-free licences and e-commerce licences.

Along with the new trade license, we will also take care of trade license cancellation Dubai services.
