How to Start a Small Business in Dubai

Dubai is one of the fertile lands for entrepreneurs and business owners who think about setting up small businesses because it offers them a lot of value like a healthy working environment, business-friendly laws, and a supportive government. Hence Dubai is one of the first options for entrepreneurs who are on the lookout for good business prospects which they can turn into feasible businesses over the long term. 



Though it is a herculean task when it comes to setting up a business, Dubai has made it as easy as possible by simplifying the procedures. Read some tips before you lay down the blueprint of your business setup in Dubai and gain an ecommerce license Dubai.

  • Look for sponsors

It takes a lot of money to start your business in Dubai, which means you must look out for a like-minded business partner to invest in your business. Dubai enables 100 per cent ownership for all foreigners under the commercial companies law. But it can be unrealistic as it requires substantially higher deposits. In such cases, you can look for local partners when you plan for a business setup in UAE. 

  • Documentation for small business

You should have all the required documents when you apply for your small business license. Here is the list of documents to make things easier for you:

  • A defining business plan document

  • Duly filled application form

  • MoA and LSA agreements

  • Payment receipt of trade name reservation

  • Passport copies of all the shareholders in your company (if any)

  • Understand legalities

If you are not rightly guided, setting up a small business in Dubai can be an exhausting task. There are six types of licenses for operating business in Dubai. Based on your business, you will need one of the six licenses:

-Commercial license

-Industrial license

-Professional license

-Tourism license

-Agriculture license

-Craftsman license

Apart from these licenses, you will need relevant permits from subsequent departments to concede with the rules. 

  • Location of your business setup

Another important step is to choose whether you wish to set your business in a free zone or on the mainland.


There are numerous benefits to both. Free zones such as SPC Free Zone offer benefits such as a quick and easy incorporation strategy, ongoing business support and financial inducements such as tax immunities and zero currency rules.


Mainland business helps you to deal directly with the UAE market and carry on potentially lucrative administration contracts. The setup that's good for you depends on the nature of your company.
