UAE business licence
A business licence lets your company operate legally in the UAE. We explain the licence types, help you choose activities and manage the approvals.
Common licence types include trading, professional, service, e-commerce and industrial. The type depends on the activities you want to carry out.
Some activities need approval from another authority first. We check this at the start so there are no surprises later.
