The 商业执照 is only one part of formation. A company that is inexpensive or quick to establish may still be unsuitable if it cannot perform the intended activities, serve the desired customers, obtain sufficient visas, import products or satisfy a bank’s due-diligence requirements.

时间表
预估时间表
A straightforward 执照 can move quickly once 文件 are complete. Corporate 股东, external approvals, inspections, attestation and regulated activities normally take longer. Banking has its own 时间表.
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 执照 package.
What products or services will be offered?
Who will purchase them?
Will customers be individuals, businesses or government entities?
Will customers be located 在迪拜, elsewhere 在阿联酋 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 阿联酋 居留签证?
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 — 执照, 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 主管部门, banks, landlords, payment processors, suppliers and tax advisors.
Checklist 2 — Select the Correct Business Activities
The business activities appearing on the 执照 define what the company is authorised to conduct.
迪拜's official business platform allows entrepreneurs to search economic activities and obtain information about company licences and legal forms. Invest 在迪拜 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 单独许可证 or entities.
Activity selection can affect
执照 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
专业咨询
Commercial trading
General Trading
电子商务
科技和软件
Marketing and media
房地产
旅游
餐饮和酒店业
医疗保健
教育和培训
Construction and 承包
Technical services
运输 and logistics
制造业
金融服务
Virtual-asset 服务
Before combining activities on one 执照
Whether the activities are compatible
Whether they fall within the same 执照 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 自由区
A first-time entrepreneur should compare the complete operating consequences of each jurisdiction.
The 阿联酋 Government's current 自由区 guidance advises investors to determine the legal entity, select the relevant zone and choose the correct 商号 and activity as part of the establishment 流程.
A 自由区 执照 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 阿联酋
Open a physical retail location
Operate a restaurant, clinic, salon or training centre
Provide services at customer locations
Perform 承包 or technical work
Work with a broad range of private customers
Pursue certain government or major commercial contracts
Maintain commercial premises outside a 自由区
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 自由区 may suit you
International consultancy
Software or technology businesses
Media and creative activities
电子商务
进口、出口和 re-export
Logistics 和 warehousing
区域总部
International holding structures
Businesses primarily serving overseas customers
Before choosing a 自由区, check
Businesses seeking a sector-focused environment
Whether the exact activity is offered
Whether the 执照 supports the intended 阿联酋 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 执照 and facility will cost at renewal
How 企业所得税 rules may apply
Checklist 4 — Confirm the Ownership Structure
Many 迪拜 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 居留签证?
Is a 股东' 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
单一股东有限责任公司
Multi-shareholder 有限责任公司
自由区 establishment
自由区 company
独资经营
民事公司
Branch of a foreign company
代表处
Confirm whether the structure
Creates a separate legal entity
Limits shareholder liability
Permits one or several 股东
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 章程文件
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 文件 should match the intended governance arrangement.
Who will be appointed as manager?
Is the manager's name stated in the 章程文件?
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 股东?
Does the activity require a qualified or approved manager?
Will the manager reside 在阿联酋?
Checklist 7 — Select and Reserve the 商号
Prepare several suitable names in case the first choice is unavailable.
The name should:
迪拜 provides an official business-name availability facility through Invest 在迪拜. 迪拜 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
