A Dubai trade licence from the Department of Economy and Tourism runs for one year and must be renewed before it lapses, or visa and banking transactions are blocked. Company support covers renewal, amendments to activities, shareholders or capital, PRO work and office or address changes.

Frequently asked questions

  • How often do I renew my trade licence?

    A UAE trade licence is renewed annually. Missing the renewal date leads to fines and can block visa and banking transactions, so we track the date and handle the renewal before it lapses.

  • Can I change my company activities or shareholders later?

    Yes. Activities, shareholders, capital, trade name and legal form can all be amended after incorporation through the licensing authority. We prepare the resolutions and file the amendment for you.

  • What does a PRO service do?

    A public relations officer service handles government transactions on your behalf: visa processing, document attestation, and dealings with immigration and the licensing authority, so you do not spend your time in queues.
