FAIHA SERVICES
Business Setup
Support with setting up a business in the UAE, and with changing or cancelling an existing license.
OVERVIEW
About Business Setup
Setting up a business in the UAE involves choosing a business activity, a legal form and a trade name, and getting a license from the relevant licensing authority, such as an emirate’s Department of Economic Development or a free zone authority.
Options, requirements and charges differ by emirate, by authority (mainland or free zone) and by activity. We support business setup in Ajman, Dubai, Sharjah and Umm Al Quwain, as well as amendments and cancellations for existing licenses.
