Steps for a IFZA Free Zone
Company Formation

Choose your business activity

The first step in Dubai Mainland company formation is to choose which commercial, professional, or industrial business activity you will engage in. Also, different activities require different approvals and specific licenses from relevant authorities.

Take initial approvals from DED

Apply for the initial approvals from DED on the proposed business activity. You must also take approval on other parameters, such as office location, shareholders, and capital.

Apply for external approvals if required

As mentioned above, some activities require additional approvals from other government entities, such as the Health Authority, the Telecommunications Regulatory Authority, and the Roads and Transport Authority. Apply and take those approvals before you proceed to register your business.

Trade Name Reservation

Reserve a name for your business by submitting an application on the DED’s name reservation portal. The name must be unique and should not be the same as other registered business names in Dubai. Please note the trade name must follow the DED trade name policy.

Signing of MOA

The next step would be the preparation of MOA for the company. The partners and shareholders are required to sign the MOA to show consent in setting up a company.

Office space selection

Lease suitable commercial space in Dubai as per DED’s location eligibility policies and usage type. Initially, you can take a small space that is budget-friendly and caters to your immediate business needs.

Mainland license issuance

The Department of Economic Development (DED) is subject to issuing trade licenses for mainland companies in Dubai. You must submit all documents and required information to the DED to apply for a mainland trade license. You also need approval of all the documents from relevant authorities and payment of the license fee to the DED.

Apply for relevant visa

Once your licence application is approved, apply for relevant visas for yourself, stakeholders, and employees.

Amazing service. They helped me with my company opening, updating my trade license, getting visas and much much more. Accounting services are also provided by SNM and Im absolutely satisfied.
