Professional License
- Specific Industries: Refers to the type of license which permits professionals to start a business in the Emirates. Unlike other trade licenses, a professional license holder can operate in particular industries such as carpentry, artisanship, consultancy services, printing and publishing, beauty salons, repair services, project management services, and more. It is a lucrative opportunity for business aspirants looking to launch their dream venture in Dubai. This implies that 100% ownership in the UAE would not be restricted to the free zone, as UAE entrepreneurs can have 100% ownership for certain professional activities. Don’t hesitate to contact Tajnes if you need assistance or want to know more about 100% ownership in the mainland. Our business advisors will handle the rest.

Commercial License
- Essential for Trading Activities: Individuals planning to set up a trading business in Dubai need to acquire a commercial license, which allows one to buy and sell goods and services. The commercial license is mandatory for trading activities and is issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED). Depending on the nature of your business activities, we assist you in obtaining the appropriate license required to operate legally in Dubai. This type of license is suitable for businesses involved in buying, selling, and trading goods.
- Ownership Flexibility: As of 2024, certain commercial licenses now allow 100% foreign ownership, reducing the need for a local sponsor in many sectors.
- DED Issuance: Commercial licenses are issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED), ensuring that your business complies with all regional regulations.
Industrial License
- Facilitating Industrial Growth: The superior and widespread logistics and infrastructure of Dubai facilitate industrial growth. Being a trading hub that connects the East to the West, Dubai has a geographical advantage as well. For industrial manufacturing, obtaining an industrial license is a prerequisite.
- Manufacturing and Production: An industrial license in Dubai allows manufacturing and industrial businesses to produce semi-manufactured or fully manufactured items. Activities covered under this license include production, segregation, collection, packaging, and more.
- Physical Warehouse Requirement: The industrial trade license requires businesses to have a physical warehouse in the UAE. The license is issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED), but approval from the Dubai Municipality and other relevant authorities is also required. Tajnes assists in securing these approvals for our clients, ensuring a smooth licensing process.
