Business Setup Process:
1. Choose A Business Activity
The first step is to finalize your business activities. Whether it will be e-commerce, manufacturing or real estate, this is the time to pick.
2. Decide On A Trade/Company Name
It’s important to take your time with the name as it’s what your customer base will use to identify your business.
You can also spend some time understanding what the name means and how it reflects your company.
If you plan on keeping the name of the owner or shareholder, you must keep in mind that the full name needs to be present, initials or abbreviations are not permitted under UAE law.
3. Draft Free Zone Application
Fill in and send your official application to the UAQ-free zone authority.
To successfully send your license application, you must submit the following documents, among others:
- Copies of shareholders’ passports
- Copies of shareholders’ visa (if applicable)
- Passport size picture of the investor
