About Business Setup in Dubai Trade License
Dubai Trade License company formation involves choosing your business activity, securing the required approvals, and obtaining your trade licence from the relevant economic department. AR Star Management Consultancy handles the entire process end-to-end — typically within 24–72 hours — with 100% ownership, investor visa, and corporate bank account support.
A Dubai trade license is your key to operating a legal business in one of the world's most dynamic commercial cities. Whether you're starting a trading company, launching a consultancy, or setting up a manufacturing unit, you need the right license to operate legally.
Dubai issues trade licenses through the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) for mainland companies and through individual free zone authorities for free zone entities. Each license type authorizes specific business activities and comes with its own requirements.
AR Star provides comprehensive Dubai trade license services including activity consultation, application processing, and ongoing renewal support. We ensure you get the right license for your business at the most competitive price.
