Trade License Services in Dubai – Alsubh Enterprises

In Dubai’s thriving commercial ecosystem, obtaining a trade license is the fundamental legal requirement to operate a business. It not only legitimizes your activities but also defines your business structure, permitted operations, and eligibility for visas and banking. With the growing demand for entrepreneurs and investors to tap into the UAE market, navigating the licensing process can be complex without expert guidance.

At Alsubh Enterprises, we specialize in end-to-end trade license services in Dubai, ensuring that your company is set up legally, efficiently, and with the right structure — so you can operate with full confidence from day one.

🔍 What is a Trade License?

A trade license is an official document issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED) for mainland companies, or by free zone authorities for businesses operating within a specific economic zone. It grants permission to conduct specific business activities under defined legal structures in compliance with UAE commercial laws.

Trade licenses fall into several categories:

  • Commercial License – for trading and buying/selling goods

  • Professional License – for service providers, professionals, and consultants

  • Industrial License – for manufacturing or industrial activities

  • Tourism License – for travel agencies, tour operators, hotels
