Types of Licenses for UAE Mainland Businesses

Based on your business activities, we can assist you in securing the right license.

01. Commercial License

This license is for businesses dealing in goods and commodities, including import, export, distribution, and retail. It can also cover online and e-commerce businesses involved in selling products locally and internationally.

02. Tourism License

It is necessary for businesses operating in the tourism sector, including travel agencies, hotels, and tour operators. It is especially meant for firms that need entry into the UAE’s flourishing tourism market.

03. Industrial License

This is required for businesses involved in manufacturing, processing, packaging, or assembling goods. It supports large-scale production or processing companies, from factories to production units.

04. Professional License

It’s ideal for businesses offering skill-based services and expertise, including consultancy, engineering, and IT. In most cases, it allows full foreign ownership and attracts freelancers and experts looking to enter the UAE market.

Flexible Business Structures

Unibiz Helps You Choose the Right Structure for Your Business Success

LLC (Limited Liability Company)

An LLC business structure is one of the most popular structures. Businesses under this structure can have liability protection and flexibility in permissible activities and are eligible for 100% foreign ownership.

Sole Proprietorship

A sole proprietorship in the UAE allows individual ownership and control over professional activities, giving business owners complete operational freedom. However, non-UAE nationals require a Local Service Agent (LSA) to set one up. While profits and liabilities are tied directly to the owner, this structure benefits from tax advantages. Sole proprietorships are ideal for professional services but may face activity restrictions.

Branch Office

Under this structure, foreign companies can open a branch in Dubai to expand operations without establishing a separate legal entity. It’s ideal for companies that need greater market reach along with local business development.
