How to Register

Select Your Business Activity

Begin by identifying the specific nature of your business. Whether it’s commercial trading, professional services, consultancy, manufacturing, or industrial activities, your chosen business activity will determine the type of license and approvals required.

Choose the Appropriate Legal Structure

Next, decide on the legal form that best fits your business model. Options include forming a Limited Liability Company (LLC), setting up a branch of an existing local or international business, or establishing an offshore company for global operations. Each structure comes with its own set of advantages depending on your long-term goals.

Select Your Jurisdiction

You’ll need to decide whether to set up in the Mainland, a Free Zone, or Offshore. Each jurisdiction offers unique benefits — free zones are ideal for export-driven and service businesses, while mainland companies enjoy unrestricted access to the UAE market.

Obtain Initial Approval

Submit your application for initial approval from the Department of Economic Development (DED) or the relevant Free Zone Authority. This approval confirms that your business activities are acceptable and compliant with local regulations.

Register Your Trade Name

Reserve a unique trade name that reflects your brand identity while adhering to UAE naming conventions. Ensure the name does not violate religious, political, or ethical sensitivities and is not already registered.

Prepare and Submit Your Documentation

Gather and submit all the required documents, which typically include passport copies of shareholders, a Memorandum of Association (MOA), Articles of Association (AOA), business plan, initial approvals, tenancy contracts (if applicable), and identity proofs. Our experts ensure that every document is correctly prepared and attested to avoid delays.

Obtain Your Business License and Begin Operations

Once your documents are verified and fees are paid, the final step is the issuance of your business license. After receiving the license, you can open a corporate bank account, apply for visas, lease office space, and officially start operating your business in Ras Al Khaimah.
