Business License Amendment Services in UAE

Doing business in the UAE requires valid business permits issued by the government authorities after proper inspection. All trade and profit business enterprises and corporations have to register themselves with the Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCI) in the respective emirate. 

It may not be possible for business owners to complete the process on their own. Business Setup Consultants in Dubai like Absher Business Consultancy offer license renewal and amendment services to their clients. Since the trade licenses are issued for one year only, they renew their client's license before expiry, thus helping in avoiding any penalty. 

Business License Amendment in UAE

There are three main categories of business licenses in the UAE.  

1. Commercial – A company, whether LLC or sole ownership, trading in goods and commodities, can apply for a commercial license. There are different types of commercial licenses, and one must apply for the correct one. Rental transportation, healthcare, retail, real estate, etc., need to have a commercial trade license.
2. Industrial- Businesses engaged in manufacturing or industrial activities need an industrial trade license. The DED issues this license, but additional approval is necessitated from different UAE Ministries such as Finance, Infrastructure and Energy depending on the industrial activity involved.
3. Professional -All professions such as accountants, auditors, healthcare specialists, teachers, advertising consultants, legal advisors, and others come under the purview of professional services. The Department of Economic Development (DED) gives this license to establish that the person or business is skilled enough to provide the best pro services in Dubai. A civil company, LLC, or sole establishment can be formed with a professional license.
