Fashion Business
Set up License in UAE

First, you must partner with ExpressPRO to start your fashion line in the UAE. As a leading consultancy, we make the process of obtaining the required licenses, including the online business license in Dubai, convenient for you. With our expert team, you can be confident that your application process will be seamless, allowing you to focus on the creative and operational aspects of your fashion business.

To start an online business in Dubai, you must choose a name for your fashion industry business. In the UAE, the government has rules for selecting a name for your business. Once you shortlist some names, ExpressPRO will incorporate the legal process and bring out the final name for your online fashion business in Dubai, as per availability.

The UAE has offered two business jurisdiction options to businesses. You can choose the free zone company or the mainland company. Each jurisdiction has its company formation benefit.

Mainland:
Mainland businesses enjoy broad market access across the UAE, flexibility in office locations, eligibility for government contracts, and 100% foreign ownership in many sectors, removing the need for a local sponsor in most cases.

Free Zone:
Free Zone businesses benefit from 100% foreign ownership, a competitive 9% corporate tax rate, customs exemptions, and streamlined setup processes with cost-effective packages. Free Zones also offer industry-specific clusters that encourage networking and collaboration.

Submit your application for a trade license to the DED or the relevant free zone authority. This license permits you to design, manufacture, and sell fashion products in Dubai. ExpressPRO can assist in understanding the cost of the e-commerce trade license in Dubai and other licensing fees.

Once your business is registered, you and your employees must apply for the necessary visas. This step involves obtaining an establishment card and processing residence visas. ExpressPRO can guide you through the visa application process.

Open a corporate bank account to manage your business finances effectively. You’ll need your trade license and other relevant documents to complete this step. ExpressPRO can recommend reputable banks and assist with the account opening process.
