Selecting the appropriate category and type of business activity is the first and most crucial step in establishing a company in Dubai. In the UAE, there are more than 1,500 business activities to select from. The department in charge of overseeing all lawful commercial operations in Dubai is the Department of Economic Development (DED).

Select a distinctive name for your business. Make sure the name you’ve chosen doesn’t already
belong to another Dubai-based business. Once a name has been chosen and approved, register it with the DED. The registration procedure normally takes three days.

It’s time to apply for your mainland trading license now that your company name has been
registered. The DED legislation prohibits a few specific business activities. All economic operations
must be decided upon, regulated, classified, permitted, and licensed by DED. When submitting an
application for a trade license, certain documents are needed. You can get help from Creative Zone with this.

Third parties typically own office spaces in the United Arab Emirates. You can modify the contents
and packages to suit your needs. It is imperative to remember that the DED’s initial clearance must be followed by the submission of the tenancy agreement, Real Estate Regulation Authority (RERA) paperwork, and EJARI. It’s not always necessary to have an office space; Creative Zone offers coworking space options that are far more affordable.

When establishing a company in Dubai, one of the most crucial papers is the Memorandum of
Association (MoA). Information about each partner’s share of restrictions and freedoms inside the business is provided in this document. It is important to carefully construct this document. You can get assistance from Creative Zone’s legal professionals in drafting this document.

Once all paperwork and approvals have been completed, pay the required costs and pick up your business license to officially recognize your company and enable legal operations on the Dubai mainland.
