Process To Setup Your Company!

In setting up a business in Dubai Mainland, you need to follow the following step-by-step process with the expert guidance of Now Consultant:

The first step is choosing the type of business you want to operate in Mainland Dubai, such as trading, consulting, manufacturing, e-commerce, or any other activity.

In the second step, you need to choose a unique trade name for your business. You need to ensure it follows UAE rules, which are verified by the DED or the UAE Ministry of Economy.

After finalizing your business activity and trade name, apply for initial approval from the DED. This approval allows you to continue with the company setup process.

In Dubai, all Mainland businesses must have a physical office. In order to find a suitable location for your business, you need to submit the lease agreement to the DED as part of your license application.

In the fifth step, you must submit all necessary documents listed above to the DED to apply for your business license. This license is the official permit for legally operating your business in Dubai.

In this step, depending on your business type, you need to obtain extra approvals from specific authorities, such as healthcare, education, or finance.

With your business license, you can open a corporate bank account. Dubai has many banking options, both local and international, to facilitate your business transactions.
