Our experienced team will guide you through every step of the company formation process, ensuring that all legal and regulatory requirements are met seamlessly.

When it comes to obtaining a commercial license, we simplify the process by walking you through these basic steps:

1. Determine Business Activity: The type of business activity you plan to conduct will influence the type of license you need, whether it’s commercial, professional, or industrial.
2. Choose Your Business Jurisdiction: Decide whether you want to operate in a free zone or on the mainland. Each option has its own benefits, including ownership rights, tax exemptions, and regulatory differences.
3. Select Your Trade Name: Your company’s trade name must be approved by the UAE authorities and should align with the business standards of the country.
4. Submit Your Initial Application: Once the business activity, jurisdiction, and trade name are finalized, we help you prepare and submit the initial approval application.
5. Prepare Legal Documentation: You’ll need to prepare and submit all required documentation, such as the Memorandum of Association (MoA) and shareholder agreements, tailored to your business structure.
6. Secure Office Space: Depending on your business needs, you’ll need to arrange for physical office space, which is often required for finalizing your commercial license.
7. 7Final Approval and License Issuance: After completing the above steps, your license will be issued by the relevant authority, allowing you to officially operate your business in the UAE.
