Mainland and every free zone
Licence, visas, banking, one team
Most licences in days, not weeks

Business setup in Al Jaddaf means a Dubai mainland licence from the Department of Economy and Tourism against Ejari-registered premises. Al Jaddaf sits on the Creek near the Dubai Healthcare City phase two extension and the Culture Village waterfront, with hotels, clinics, residential towers and offices, one metro stop from the historic Creek districts.

We take the activity list, the trade name, initial approval, the Ejari tenancy and the licence, then the visas and the corporate account.

What should you know about Al Jaddaf?

Before you commit, these are the facts that decide how a company is licensed here and whether the property route to a Golden Visa is open to you: the ownership status, the licensing authority, where the local stock sits against the AED 2 million threshold, and how the area is reached. We confirm each of them for your exact plan before any fee is paid.

Why set up a company in Al Jaddaf?

The reasons that matter are the practical ones: what the licence lets you do, the visa allocation you get, the cost of the office or address the jurisdiction requires, and how quickly you can open a bank account and start invoicing. Here is where Al Jaddaf is genuinely strong for the kind of company most of our clients build, and where it is not the right fit.

Beside the medical cluster

Al Jaddaf borders the Dubai Healthcare City extension, which suits clinics, wellness and medical-support businesses.

Newer Creek-side stock

Buildings here are recent, so office and clinic units are modern without the price of Downtown or the Marina.

Metro and Creek access

A Green Line station and the Creek crossings put the city centre and the airport within a short trip.

Frequently asked questions

  • Is Al Jaddaf mainland or free zone?

    Mainland. The Department of Economy and Tourism licenses businesses in Al Jaddaf, and the premises are registered on Ejari. The Dubai Healthcare City free zone next door is a separate authority.

  • Does Al Jaddaf suit a clinic or medical business?

    It borders the Dubai Healthcare City extension, so medical, wellness and support businesses fit. A clinic still needs its own health-sector approval on top of the trade licence, which we arrange.

  • Is Al Jaddaf on the metro?

    Yes. Al Jadaf station on the Green Line serves the district, one stop from Dubai Healthcare City and close to the Creek crossings.
