How to get Trade license in Abu Dhabi?

These are the procedures you must follow to obtain an Abu Dhabi trade license. The processes are rather simple, but if you don’t know how to complete each one, you might have problems. You will be guided by a business setup specialist through each of these steps: 

1. Decide on a company name

Choosing a name for your firm is the first step in establishing a business in Abu Dhabi. The name of your business must go by a number of laws and specifications pertaining to business names in the United Arab Emirates.

One requirement is that your company name must unambiguously state what your organization does. Any terms that could be offensive should be avoided, as should any titles that might be confusing or sound similar to those of other companies already in operation. 

2 Apply for a business license

The two types of business licenses available to entrepreneurs and investors are a mainland Abu Dhabi license and a free zone license. At Creative Zone, we can help you decide which license is ideal for your company. 

Free zone licenses offer zero income tax, quick and simple office establishment, and 100 percent foreign ownership of your company. On the other hand, setting up a mainland license in Abu Dhabi offers you immediate access to the local market and can be necessary in some sectors. 

3. Submit all the paperwork

Several business documents must be submitted as part of the business setup procedure. 

4. Licensing for businesses will be provided

Your company license will normally be issued in a matter of days if all your paperwork and documentation are submitted properly. At Creative Zone, our experts can help you with all the paperwork needed for the specific type of business you have and ensure that it is filled out correctly, so your business license is issued the first time. 

5. Start the visa processing 

The process of applying for staff visas is the last stage in obtaining an Abu Dhabi business license. If any of your employees are foreign nationals, they will require a visa in order to work for your business.
