Complete Guide
Dubaï création d'entreprise checklist — detailed guide
Checklist 1 — Define What the Business Will Actually Do
Start with a clear description of the commercial model. Do not begin by choosing the cheapest licence package.
What products or services will be offered?
Who will purchase them?
Will customers be individuals, businesses or government entities?
Will customers be located à Dubaï, elsewhere aux EAU or overseas?
Will the business import, export or hold physical stock?
Will services be provided online or at customer locations?
Will the company need a shop, office, warehouse or workshop?
Will employees be required immediately?
Will the founder need a EAU residence visa?
What countries will send or receive payments?
What is the expected first-year turnover?
Are any activities regulated?
Ask early whether any activity is regulated. The answer affects almost every later decision — licence, jurisdiction, office, visas, banking profile and tax treatment.
A first-time entrepreneur should be able to explain the business model in one clear paragraph. That description will also help when dealing with licensing autorités, banks, landlords, payment processors, suppliers and tax advisors.
Checklist 2 — Select the Correct Business Activities
The business activities appearing on the licence define what the company is authorised to conduct.
Dubaï's official business platform allows entrepreneurs to search economic activities and obtain information about company licences and legal forms. Invest à Dubaï should be consulted when assessing mainland activities and licensing options.
Do not choose an activity merely because its wording appears close to the business idea. Confirm whether the activity covers how the company will earn revenue.
Unrelated or differently regulated activities may require separate licences or entities.
Activity selection can affect
Licence category
Company name
Government charges
Foreign-ownership eligibility
External approvals
Required qualifications
Permitted premises
Employee requirements
Banking assessment
Customs registration
Product approvals
Tax treatment
Advertising permissions
Examples of activity groups
Conseil professionnel
Commercial trading
General trading
Commerce électronique
Technologie et logiciels
Marketing and media
Immobilier
Tourisme
Alimentation et hôtellerie
Santé
Éducation et formation
Construction and contracting
Technical services
Transport et logistique and logistics
Fabrication
Services financiers
Services d'actifs virtuels
Before combining activities on one licence
Whether the activities are compatible
Whether they fall within the same licence category
Whether separate external approvals apply
Whether different facilities are required
Whether different technical managers are required
Whether combining them changes the cost
Whether the chosen jurisdiction permits the combination
Checklist 3 — Decide Between Mainland and Zone franche
A first-time entrepreneur should compare the complete operating consequences of each jurisdiction.
The EAU Government's current Zone franche guidance advises investors to determine the legal entity, select the relevant zone and choose the correct trade name and activity as part of the establishment process.
A Zone franche licence should be selected for operational suitability rather than name recognition or promotional price alone.
When a mainland company may suit you
Trade directly across the EAU
Open a physical retail location
Operate a restaurant, clinic, salon or training centre
Provide services at customer locations
Perform contracting or technical work
Work with a broad range of private customers
Pursue certain government or major commercial contracts
Maintain commercial premises outside a Zone franche
Employ a locally based workforce
Before choosing mainland, confirm
The relevant activity is available
Full foreign ownership is permitted
The legal structure is suitable
External approvals are identified
Premises requirements are understood
Visa and workforce requirements are feasible
The complete annual cost has been calculated
When a Zone franche may suit you
International consultancy
Software or technology businesses
Media and creative activities
Commerce électronique
Importation, exportation et réexportation
Logistique et entreposage
Siège régional
International holding structures
Businesses primarily serving overseas customers
Before choosing a Zone franche, check
Businesses seeking a sector-focused environment
Whether the exact activity is offered
Whether the licence supports the intended EAU transactions
How mainland customers will be served
Whether importation onto the mainland requires additional arrangements
Whether the selected package includes visas
Whether the workspace supports the required visa allocation
Whether a warehouse or dedicated office is available
Whether the jurisdiction is suitable for the expected banking profile
What is included in the first-year promotion
What the licence and facility will cost at renewal
How Impôt sur les sociétés rules may apply
Checklist 4 — Confirm the Ownership Structure
Many Dubaï companies may be fully foreign-owned, subject to the activity and applicable regulations. Nevertheless, first-time entrepreneurs should confirm the ownership conditions for the exact activity.
Who will be a shareholder?
What percentage will each person own?
Will the founder be the sole shareholder?
Will an overseas company hold the shares?
Who will provide the investment capital?
Who will control the company?
Who will receive profits?
Who will be the ultimate beneficial owner?
Will any shareholder require a residence visa?
Is a actionnaires' agreement needed?
Avoid adding a friend, family member or business associate as a shareholder solely for convenience. A shareholder receives legal rights and may influence banking, governance, profit distribution, company sales and future disputes.
Agree in writing on
Capital contributions
Ownership percentages
Management responsibilities
Signing powers
Salaries and profit distributions
Decision-making
Additional funding
Transfer of shares
Founder exit
Death or incapacity
Dispute resolution
Checklist 5 — Choose the Legal Structure
The legal structure should match the ownership, liability and commercial purpose of the company.
Potential structures include:
A first-time entrepreneur should understand whether the structure:
The legal structure should not be selected by copying another entrepreneur's setup. Two businesses in the same industry may require different structures because of their ownership, contracts, funding or growth plans.
Potential structures
Société à responsabilité limitée unipersonnelle
Multi-shareholder limited liability company
Zone franche establishment
Zone franche company
Établissement individuel
Société civile
Succursale d'une entreprise étrangère
Bureau de représentation
Confirm whether the structure
Creates a separate legal entity
Limits shareholder liability
Permits one or several actionnaires
Supports the intended activity
Allows corporate ownership
Provides the required visa capacity
Can enter contracts in its own name
Can be sold or transferred later
Requires specific constitutional documents
Checklist 6 — Appoint the Company Manager
The manager is generally responsible for day-to-day operation and may be authorised to represent the company.
The powers granted in the company documents should match the intended governance arrangement.
Who will be appointed as manager?
Is the manager's name stated in the constitutional documents?
What are the manager's signing powers?
Can the manager operate the bank account?
Can the manager sign employment contracts?
Can the manager sign commercial agreements?
Are any powers reserved for actionnaires?
Does the activity require a qualified or approved manager?
Will the manager reside aux EAU?
Checklist 7 — Select and Reserve the Dénomination commerciale
Prepare several suitable names in case the first choice is unavailable.
The name should:
Dubaï provides an official business-name availability facility through Invest à Dubaï. Dubaï business-name checker
Trade-name approval does not automatically provide trademark protection. If the brand is commercially important, consider a separate trademark search and registration strategy.
Be distinguishable from existing registered names
Avoid offensive or misleading terminology
Not imply an unauthorised connection with the government
Respect registered trademarks
Avoid regulated words without permission
Follow personal-name rules where a person's name is used
Include the required legal-form designation
Reflect the company's brand and future direction
