About Business Setup in UAE Trade License

A trade license is the fundamental document required to legally operate a business in the UAE. It authorizes you to conduct specific business activities within your chosen jurisdiction and is issued by the relevant mainland authority or free zone.
The type of trade license you need depends on your business activity. Commercial licenses cover trading activities, professional licenses cover service-based businesses, and industrial licenses cover manufacturing operations. Some businesses may require multiple licenses.
AR Star provides end-to-end trade license services including activity selection, application processing, and license issuance. Our expertise ensures you get the right license for your business with the fastest turnaround and most competitive pricing.
