As a professional business setup consultant, Link Up Corporate Services can help you at every step and even we can handle the whole process on your behalf. We have described the licensing process in detail so an individual can understand it better.

Step 1: Think About the Business’s Legal Structure

UAE offers different types of legal structure to businesses so it’s important to decide whether the firm needs to be registered as an LLC (Limited Liability Company), A single-person company, parent company’s branch, representative office or anything else. Most of the businesses follow either LLC formation or Branch office because of their advantages. So first of all decide what kind of company you want to start.

Step 2: Decide the Jurisdiction

In Dubai, the location depends on the particular region. The term location doesn’t mean the particular place where you want to start your business but it means where you want to apply for the e-commerce license.

• Free Zone: If you don’t want to share your business ownership with anyone, then you have to register your business in the Free Zone. It offers 100% ownership to the owner.
• Mainland: To set up business in Mainland, you have to get a local business partner who will take a minimum 51% and the remaining 49% will be yours.

So before choosing any location, you should do a deep analysis of advantages and disadvantages. At Link Up Corporate Services, our professionals can help you to choose the best location according to your business.

Step 3: Trade Name Registration

Generally eCommerce business does not have any specific physical presence and that’s why you should choose a short name that comes to everyone’s mind when they are planning to purchase online. This is our suggestion, that the trade name and domain name should be the same so customers can easily navigate to the website quickly. When you are choosing a domain name, make sure the same business name should not be registered by any other business.

Step 4: Give An Application for License

It's important to note that the process of obtaining an e-commerce license in Dubai is crucial for the success of the business. Without a valid license, the business will be considered illegal and may face legal consequences. That's why it's important to work with a reliable business setup consultant like Link Up Corporate Services, to ensure a smooth and efficient process of obtaining the e-commerce license. The team of experts can guide you through the requirements and regulations set by the Department of Economic Development and Free Zone authorities, to ensure that your business is in compliance with the laws of Dubai.

Step 5: License Approval

If all your documents are correct then it will take maximum 7 days to get the license approval and this is depending on the authority.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS WHILE STARTING THE BUSINESS IN DUBAI

• Import/Export requirements: Generally eCommerce business consists of some important import and export activities. But for the import and export business, you have to register with one of the posts and customs authorities. They will provide you with an importer’s code. As per the UAE government, an individual has to pay 5% customs duty on imported goods. But if the company is located in the Free Zone then it will not be charged with import duty because they have to sell their products or services limited to free zones only.
• Corporate Bank Account Opening Procedure: After getting the license, you should start the process of setting up your corporate bank account. Just decide the bank from your end, and we will handle all the procedures from our side. With good contacts and professional relationships with local banks, Link Up Corporate Services can help to open your business account as quickly as possible.
