To jumpstart your new business in the UAE, here are the steps to set up your business in IFZA Dubai:

1. Prepare documents needed. The key to a fast processing of your trade license is proper documentation and submission of documents. To begin your business setup in IFZA, gather all required documents and submit these to your local agent for checking and verification.

You would need to submit the following:

For Individual shareholders

• Accomplished Company Setup Onboarding form
• Scanned copy of visa page (if UAE resident)

Along with your documents, pay the appropriate fee to your local agent for prompt processing and submission to the Authority.

1. Reserve your chosen trade name. Provide your top three choices for your trade name to be submitted to the Authority. Should at least one pass the criteria set by IFZA Dubai, you will be provided with a Name Reservation Certificate.

2. Submit the license application to the Authority. After reserving your trade name, your local agent may now submit your license application to IFZA Dubai for review and issuance. On average, it takes 3-5 working days before you may receive your trade license. The Authority might also request additional documents to further strengthen your application.
