Process

Process to Open a Foodstuff Trading Company in Dubai (Dubai Mainland Setup Process)

Begin your company formation journey with a free consultation. This step helps in selecting the most suitable location and business activity for your LLC.

We confirm if you have previously entered the UAE to create a profile in the Department of Economic Development (DED). This profile creation requires an active mobile number and email ID and allows you to complete the licensing process without being physically present in the UAE.

After profile creation and selection of your desired business activity, we proceed with obtaining initial approval from the Dubai Economic Department (DED).

Provide us with three preferred business names to check for availability. Once a name is available, we reserve it for your business license. As per DED regulations, the activity type must be mentioned after the chosen business name.

We draft a standard Memorandum of Association (MOA) approved by the DED. This can be digitally signed online or in front of a notary, depending on authority requirements.

If you have your own office space, provide us with the Ejari certificate to link with your license application. Alternatively, we can source a virtual Ejari for you.

Upon successful submission of all documents, we will receive a payment voucher. Once payment is made, the business license will be issued, subject to DED approvals.

Post-license issuance, we will register your company with immigration and initiate the visa application process for the investor/partner.

With your business license and Emirates ID, we can assist you with the digital bank account opening process, which you can complete at your convenience.

The estimated cost for opening this license is approximately 18,000 AED. This includes the license with two shareholders, initial approval, trade name reservation, and MOA signing. For a detailed quotation or consultation, please contact us through the inquiry form.
