Benefits of coworking license in Dubai, UAE
Coworking is popular. Really popular. There are now estimated to be close to 20,000 coworking spaces across the globe. One report suggests that in 2019 there were 3.1 million coworkers around the world, with that number projected to almost double by 2022.
But why? Here are just a few reasons you might want to consider coworking as an office option for your business:
- Save money: With a coworking license, you get the benefit of a premium location and top-level facilities without having to take on all the costs. No bills, no varying overheads. It’s ready to go when you are.
- Get more done: Sometimes it’s tough to work from home with all the distractions. Equally, a corporate office isn’t always the most inspiring place. A coworking space fits well somewhere in between, giving you that dedicated place of work without the formality of an office. A great place to be creative for the entrepreneur.
- Meet people: Being around like-minded people serves two important functions. The first is purely social, it’s good to be around people, it reduces feelings of isolation (particularly if you work by yourself a lot), and generally helps you feel more energized. But beyond that, you have the chance to meet your peers and future mentors, find potential future business partners or employees, as well as share your successes and challenges with other like-minded people ready to listen and offer advice.
- Retain flexibility: You can use it as much or as little as you want, plus you have the option to expand at your own pace.

How to apply for a Dubai mainland coworking license
Now we have covered the cost of a coworking license in the UAE, we can move on to the process of applying. The first two questions to resolve are as follows:
Decide on your business activity: It is vital that your chosen activity aligns exactly with the business activity you are going to undertake. To make sure everything here is clear and compliant, it’s worth bringing in the services of a company formation specialist to avoid fines or even cancellation of your license.
Choose a company name: The UAE is fairly strict when it comes to naming companies, so it’s important to be aware of the regulations. Essentially, you must avoid any language that could be seen as offensive or blasphemous. You must avoid any name that is already held by a well-known organization. If you’re naming your company after yourself, ensure that you don’t abbreviate your name. So Mike Smith Real Estate is fine, but M Smith Real Estate is not. Of course, you will also need to ensure your chosen company name is still available for you to register.
From there, you can follow these steps:
- Prepare your documents and make payment
- Reserve your business name
- Receive approval
- Sign the memorandum of association or local service agent agreement
- Apply for your visa
- Receive visa
