Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a trade license cost in Dubai?▼
Trade license costs vary based on business type and location. Mainland commercial licenses start from AED 15,000, professional licenses from AED 12,000, and industrial licenses from AED 20,000. Freezone licenses typically range from AED 12,000-25,000. Costs include government fees, office space, and initial approvals.
When should I renew my trade license?▼
Trade licenses must be renewed annually before expiry. We recommend starting renewal 60 days before expiration to avoid penalties. Late renewal incurs fines starting from AED 1,000, increasing with delay duration. We provide renewal reminders to all our clients.
How long does license amendment take?▼
License amendments typically take 3-7 working days depending on the type of change. Simple amendments like activity addition take 3-4 days, while complex changes like name changes or shareholder modifications may take 5-7 days. We handle all paperwork and government submissions.
Can I add business activities to my existing license?▼
Yes, you can add business activities to your existing license through the amendment process. Each activity must be approved by relevant authorities. We help select appropriate activities, submit applications, and ensure quick approval.
What happens if I don't renew my license on time?▼
Failure to renew on time results in penalties starting from AED 1,000 for the first month, increasing thereafter. Extended delays can lead to license cancellation, visa invalidation, and legal complications. We strongly advise timely renewal to avoid these issues.
