Registrations, Renewals and Visa Processing

Incorporation and Registrations

Due to a favorable business environment and backing from the local government, many investors are opting to start new businesses in UAE. Any entrepreneur looking to start a business in this region should have a valid license from the respective Regulatory Authority.

Generally, a business license in UAE can be subdivided into three categories:

  • Commercial licenses (for all trading activities)
  • Professional licenses (for professionals, craftsmen, tax advisors, and business consultants)
  • Industrial licenses (for carrying out manufacturing activities)

There are broadly three jurisdictions in UAE amongst which foreign entrepreneurs can choose to set up a proposed entity (the mainland, free zones, or offshore). Every jurisdiction has their unique specifications and benefits.

To help you set up, we at Nexdigm can:

  • Assist in selecting an appropriate jurisdiction for the proposed business setup
  • Coordinate with the selected Regulatory Authority for the proposed business setup
  • Record information on detailed administrative steps and guidance in establishing the entity (we will work closely with the respective authorities for this process)
  • Manage company name registration and pre-approvals
  • Draft business setup related documents (Memorandum of Association, Power of Attorney, Board Resolution, business introductory forms, applications, etc.)
  • Obtain pre-approvals from the respective authorities for all business documents
  • Legalize business setup documentation (as per required by the relevant Ministry) in the UAE
  • Obtain legal translation if required
  • Support you in obtaining relevant documentation regarding an office lease agreement
  • Make all applicable payments to the lease department, licensing and registration department, and labor department
  • Submit all relevant documentation and follow-up with the authorities
  • Obtain a company license
  • Register the newly-established company with the labor department
  • Register the company with online portals for visa, licensing, and other administrative purposes
  • Open a UAE bank account for the newly incorporated entity

Renewals

Once a business license is obtained, the legal entity license is valid for one year from the date of issuance. Every business needs to renew its license in UAE every year, as per the rules of the governing authority, to remain legitimate.

To help you continue operations, we at Nexdigm can:

  • Assist in collation of the prescribed license renewal documents
  • Submit the required documentation and fees to the Regulatory Authority
  • Conduct correspondence and meetings with the respective authority, if required
  • Assist in getting external approval, if required
