Frequently Asked Questions

How long does trade license approval actually take?

Standard processing is 2-4 weeks, but we’ve secured approvals in as little as 3-5 business days for urgent setups. Timeline depends on your business activity and jurisdiction.

Can I start operating before my trade license is approved?

No. Operating without a valid trade license in Dubai results in heavy fines and potential business closure. We expedite the process so you can launch legally and quickly.

What's the difference between mainland and free zone licenses?

Mainland licenses allow you to trade directly with the UAE market without restrictions. Free zone licenses offer 100% foreign ownership and tax benefits but have limited mainland access. We help you choose based on your business model.

Do I need a physical office to get a trade license?

Yes, all Dubai business setups require a registered address. We handle office space arrangements as part of our complete business setup service.

 

Can I add more business activities later?

Absolutely. We manage license amendments to add or modify activities as your business evolves. This typically takes 5-7 business days.
