Why Dubai, to set up a company or business set up


Lots reasons to choose to set up or expand your Business in Dubai (UAE) and reasons why Dubai still remains by far the number one business location in the Middle East. Dubai has always managed to stabilise itself financially and is starting to show signs of a very strong recovery. There is numerous reasons for this and none more forceful than the economic diversity of Dubai. The fact is that many years before the real estate boom, Dubai was still a very well-built and growing economy and was already the worldwide hub of the Middle East.

Dubai’s power industries include Shipping, Tourism, Media, IT, Retail, Exhibitions, General Trade, Gold & Diamond Trade & Banking as well as being one of the world’s major travel hubs. Where else can you think of that has such a strong business base for such a relatively small kingdom?

since Europe and the USA bed down for what looks like could be a long and drawn out period of low economic growth, high idleness and government financial plan cuts, Dubai looks more and more like the place to explore double digit growth. With easy geographical access to the tiger economies of the East and completely placed to access the growth and cash rich economies of the gulf as well as being by far the majority live able place in the Middle East and with no tax, low rents, a free lifestyle and great weather, Dubai makes the great choice.

Dubai Business Set Up Introduction


Setting Up Business in Dubai


During setting up organization in Dubai, there are things that you need to consider and have a look at. Though the process  and requirements are easy, it is better to have a look through the requirements I will mention below and on my future post when setting up in Dubai or other Status in the UAE.

When setting up a business within Dubai, the business entity used must fall within one of the 7 business categories stipulated in Federal Law no 8 of 1984 Concerning Commercial Companies (as amended by the Federal Law no 15 of 1998) (the Companies Law).

Moreover, a trade license must be obtained from the Dubai Department of Economic Development (the DED) prior to the entity commencing commercial activities. Some business sectors may also require further approval from various ministries and/or other authorities. Certain commercial activities are restricted to UAE nationals or companies fully owned by UAE nationals.

Introduction of Business in Dubai


The Most basic requirement for all business activity in Dubai is one of the following three categories of licence:

  • Commercial licenses covering all kinds of trading activity in Dubai ;

  • Professional licenses covering professions, services, craftsmen and artisans in Dubai

  • Industrial licenses for establishing industrial or manufacturing activity in Dubai .

These licenses are all issued by the Dubai Economic Department. However, licences for some categories of business require approval from certain ministries and other authorities: for example, banks and financial institutions from the Central Bank of the UAE; insurance companies and related agencies from the Ministry of Economy and Commerce; manufacturing from the Ministry of Finance and Industry; and pharmaceutical and medical products from the Ministry of Health.

More detailed procedures apply to businesses engaged in oil or gas production and related industries.

Practicing some trade activities (e.g. jewellery and insurance) requires the submission of a financial guarantee issued by a bank operating in Dubai.

In general, all commercial and industrial businesses in Dubai should be registered with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

Fifty-one per cent (51 %) participation by UAE nationals is the general requirement for all Dubai-established companies except:

  • Where the law requires 100% local ownership;
  • In the  JAFZA(Jebel Ali Free Zone)  DIC(Dubai Internet City) Dubai Airport Free Zone,Dubai Media City or the  (DIFC) Dubai International Finacial Center  
  • In activities open to 100% AGCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) ownership;
  • Where wholly owned AGCC companies enter into partnership with UAE nationals;
  • In respect of foreign companies registering branches or a representative office in Dubai;
  • In professional or artisan companies where 100% foreign ownership is permitted.
