Trade License-neyatek

Securing a business or trade license in Dubai is the most important step in making your company official. Without it, you cannot operate legally, hire employees, or open a corporate bank account. Yet the process can feel overwhelming—choosing between mainland, free zone, or instant license options, preparing documents, and meeting compliance rules.

At Neyatek Solutions, we simplify licensing. Whether you need a mainland trade license, a free zone license, or an instant license issued in minutes, we manage the process from start to finish. Our team ensures your approvals, documentation, and payments are completed correctly the first time, avoiding delays and penalties.

With years of local expertise, we guide you on the best license type for your goals, ensuring your business is set up for growth—not just paperwork. From approvals to issuance, we make licensing fast, accurate, and hassle-free.

Licensing Pathway

Starting a business in Dubai requires specific steps. Here’s the streamlined sequence:

  1. Initial Approval: Get pre-clearance from authorities to proceed with your chosen activity and structure.
  2. Name Approval / Reservation: Secure a trade name that matches your brand and meets Dubai’s naming rules.
  3. Ejari Registration / Virtual Ejari: Register your office or virtual office contract (mandatory for mainland setups).
  4. MOA (Memorandum of Association): Prepare and notarize the MOA (or Local Service Agent agreement if required).
  5. Payment Voucher & Settlement: Receive a payment voucher from the authority, settle government fees, and proceed to final issuance.
  6. Trade License Issuance: Once payment is made, your Dubai trade license is issued—making your company official.
