FAQ
What is a Trade License?
In the UAE, a trade license is a legal requirement for individuals or companies wishing to engage in commercial activities.
It is issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED) in each emirate, and allows businesses to legally operate within the UAE.
The type of trade license you need depends on the nature of your business.
What is the need for Trade License Verification in UAE?
Great question! It's crucial to verify a Trade License for many reasons:
Trade license verification in the UAE is essential to ensure a business is legally registered andauthorized to operate, safeguarding compliance with local laws.
It builds trust, preventing fraud by confirming the legitimacy of a company.
Verification is crucial for regulatory oversight, ensuring businesses meet specific industry standards, and helps avoid fines, penalties, or closure. It also protects stakeholders in financial and contractual dealings, mitigating risks in partnerships or investments.
Additionally, trade license verification is key to complying with Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations, ensuring transparent and lawful business operations.
How are Trade Licenses in UAE different from Trade Licenses in other countries?
There are a lot of nuances in Trade License Issuance and Verification in UAE.
-Trade licenses are issued by the Department of Economic Development (DED) in each emirate (e.g., Dubai, Abu Dhabi), or by free zone authorities for businesses operating within free zones.
-Verification typically involves checking details from the DED or free zone databases, ensuring businesses comply with emirate-specific laws.The process may include confirming company activities, issued emirate, and business status.
-For mainland businesses, certain types of trade licenses require a local sponsor, i.e., a UAE national, who holds a percentage of ownership (usually 51%). Free zone companies, however, can be 100% foreign-owned.
-Trade license verification is often part of broader Know Your Customer(KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) checks, particularly due to the UAE's role as a global business hub.
