What to expect
Licensing
We identify the closest permitted business activity and whether it belongs in mainland, free zone or a regulated route.
Visa Requirements
Visa planning depends on shareholder count, office package and future hiring needs; we align the licence with your expected headcount.
Banking
Banks review activity, ownership, transaction profile and documentation. We prepare the file before introductions begin.
Office Requirements
Depending on the activity, a flexi desk, virtual facility or physical office may be enough. We confirm before you choose a package.
Questions
Frequently asked
A general trading licence typically covers multiple product categories under one company, so you are not restricted to a single product line - useful if your business imports or trades a varied range of goods.
It depends on your customers - mainland suits businesses selling directly within the UAE market, while free zone suits import, export and re-export models that trade internationally or through other companies rather than direct local retail.
