Setting up a DED company

Dubai Economic Department
Setting up a DED Mainland License has become much easier than before. The flexible regulatory procedures, quick timelines, and easy approval processes have made the Dubai License a preferred choice among investors. Having a DED License allows to work with government entities with ease along with trading anywhere in the UAE. Procedures to gain a corporate bank account will be much easier as well.

Establishing a company in Dubai also comes with an additional set of advantages such as various business can now be solely owned in the Mainland and getting a license is now more affordable and quicker.

So, if you are someone dreaming of having your own company, this could be your time!

After an extremely fruitful and popular webinar on company formation our business set up advisors are back with another power-packed session on Setting up a Business in Dubai. The session will give you action strategies to help you launch your business in Dubai, advise on best-suited zones for your business, familiarise you with the changes in the business ecosystem and answer all your related questions.
