A trade licence is the legal basis on which your company operates in the UAE. Mainland licences are issued by the Department of Economy and Tourism and free zone licences by the relevant authority, and each carries its own list of approved activities, ownership rules and renewal conditions.
Al Waseel handles the full application for a new licence and the annual renewal of an existing one, including activity additions, partner changes and the approvals that sit behind them, so your company stays properly licensed without a lapse.
An expired trade licence can attract fines and, if left, may affect your ability to renew staff visas or operate company bank accounts. Renewal usually depends on a valid tenancy contract and Ejari being in place. Share your current licence with us and we will confirm the renewal window and what is required well ahead of the expiry date.
Speak to our team about your requirement and we will explain the documents and next steps.
Send us your activity or current licence and we will confirm the route, documents and timeline.
