  •            must be followed by the legal form of the company, for example (LLC, EST, PJSC, PrJSC)
  •            must not have been previously registered
  •            must be compatible with the required type of activity and the legal status of the company or business entity
  •            should not contain names of any religion, or governing authority, nor names or logos of any external bodies.

Notes:

  •            Trade names are subject to cancellation at the end of booking period.
  •            The company may change its name into another by special resolution, provided the change will not affect its rights and obligations.

     3. Obtaining initial approval

After seeking the initial approval that you can proceed for additional approvals of authorities other than the DEDs which is required in case of certain business/trading activities.


Note for foreign investors:

  •            Foreign investors must obtain the approval of the General Directorate of Residency and
  •            Foreigners' Affairs before getting the initial approval. The initial approval does not allow a person to practice the activity, unless a commercial license is duly             issued, as a last step of the process.

All businesses must have a physical address. The applicants must determine a site to conduct their businesses. The location must comply with the requirements set out by the Department of Economic Development in the respective emirate and the zoning regulations of the local municipalities.
