Frequently Asked Questions
Where do I reserve a trade name in Abu Dhabi?
Trade names are reserved through Abu Dhabi’s government portal (TAMM). Once it’s approved, the name is held for your licence application.
Which authority issues a mainland trade licence?
Mainland economic licences are handled by the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) through its licensing services. Trade name reservation and licence issuance sit under these services.
Can I own 100% of a mainland company as a foreigner?
In the UAE, full foreign ownership is allowed for many mainland activities under the updated companies law framework. Abu Dhabi also published lists of activities open to foreign ownership, so it depends on your exact activity.
Do I need a physical office address?
It depends on the licence type and where you register. Some routes require office space (for example, ADGM asks you to identify office space as part of setting up), while some Abu Dhabi licence options are designed to run without a traditional office.
What is the Abu Dhabi Trader (Tajer) licence, and who is it for?
Tajer Abu Dhabi is a streamlined option that can be issued using your Emirates ID, and it’s designed to work without an official establishment site for specific activities. It’s a practical fit if you want a simpler launch model and your activity is eligible.
Is a local sponsor still required?
Not necessarily. Free zones allow full foreign ownership, and many mainland sectors now offer similar privileges under updated UAE laws.
What is the required share capital to incorporate?
Free zones generally do not enforce a minimum capital requirement. For mainland entities, the standard is AED 50,000, although this amount can vary depending on your business activity.
Can you assist with opening a business bank account?
Absolutely. We streamline the process by preparing the required documents and coordinating with reputable UAE banking institutions on your behalf.
