How Do You Set Up a Business Management Consultancy in Dubai?
Setting up a business management consultancy requires meeting certain regulatory requirements. Here’s an outline of the steps:
Choose the Jurisdiction
Decide whether you want to establish your consultancy in Dubai Mainland or within one of Dubai’s many free zones. Each jurisdiction offers unique benefits: Mainland businesses can operate throughout the UAE, while free zone companies may benefit from 100% foreign ownership and tax advantages.
Select Your Business Activity
Under the consultancy license, you can choose various activities, including management consulting, strategy consulting, HR consulting, financial consulting, and more. Be sure to list the activities that best represent your services.
Apply for Initial Approval
Submit an initial application to the Department of Economic Development (DED) for Mainland or the chosen free zone authority, detailing your proposed business activities and company structure.
Prepare the Necessary Documents
Gather and submit the required documents, which typically include passport copies, proof of address, a no-objection certificate (if applicable), and other personal and professional details.
Lease Office Space
In Dubai, every consultancy business needs to have an office. Free zones may offer flexi-desk options, while mainland businesses will need to secure a dedicated office space. Office size and location can affect your credibility and costs, so choose wisely.
Obtain Your License
Upon approval, you’ll receive your business management consultancy license. This step completes your registration, allowing you to operate legally as a business consultancy in Dubai.
Register for Additional Permits and Visas
You may need additional permits depending on your company structure and the number of employees. Additionally, Dubai provides various visa options for business owners and employees to ensure smooth entry and residence for foreign professionals.
