Ownership and the local service agent
Professional licences allow 100% foreign ownership. A UAE national is appointed as local service agent purely for government liaison — they hold no shares and take no part in running the company.
How it works
Five steps, most of them completed the same day:
- Choose the business activity
- Reserve the trade name
- Receive initial approval
- Licence issued
- Post-setup support — visas, bank account, PRO
Renewing from year two
From the second year you may need an office or Ejari, a renewed local service agent agreement and the licence renewal itself. We give you the renewal figure before you commit.
These are indicative 2026 market ranges, shown so you can budget realistically. Government fees change and every case differs — we send a fixed written quote covering your exact activity, visa count and facility before you commit to anything.
