Select Your Business Activity and Structure

With more than 1,500 approved activities in the UAE, choosing the appropriate category is crucial. Dubai’s Department of Economic Development (DED) oversees the regulation of all business activities to ensure legal compliance
Register Your Company Name with the DED
Choose a distinctive name for your business. Ensure it is not already in use by another entity in Dubai. Once your name is approved, it can be officially registered with the DED. The registration process is straightforward and can consume about 3 business days.
Apply for a Mainland Trade License
After finalizing your company name, proceed to apply for a mainland trade license. While most commercial activities are permissible, a few may fall under restrictions governed by DED laws. As the regulatory authority, the DED manages classifications, permits, and licenses for economic activities.
Secure Office or Coworking Space
Office spaces in the UAE are managed by third-party providers in general and come with flexible packages based on your needs. Essential documents like tenancy agreements, Real Estate Regulation Authority (RERA) approvals, and EJARI certificates must be submitted after receiving initial DED approval.
