However, one of the most basic and essential requirements to be complied with is obtaining a trade license. The Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED), supported by the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, is the legislative body for regulating and controlling the procedures for the issue of trade licenses in the UAE in all areas other than those that come under the purview of free zones. However, some categories of businesses need to obtain approvals from certain ministries and local authorities before applying for a trade license in Dubai.
A free zone trade license in Dubai is issued by the authorities that are responsible for regulating business activities in respective free zones. Furthermore, when it comes to trade license renewal in Dubai, all companies have to do it on time every year to continue their operations.
