1. Choose a Legal Structure and FInalize your
Business Activities
The first step to opening a business in Dubai is
finalizing your legal structure. You can open an
LLC (limited liability company), a shareholding
company, a joint venture, etc. Furthermore,
youre free to choose the jurisdiction of your
choice. Next, you must list down all the business
activities you want to carry out in the UAE post
successful company incorporation. The same list
needs to be sent to the concerned economic
department for approval. In addition, the
investors from the UK should always consult with
Shuraas business consultants for expert
guidance on business activities.

2. Book a Legal Trading Name
Every legal entity carrying out its business
operations in the UAE must have a legal trading
name. Furthermore, note that youll need the
payment receipt of trade name reservation during
license procurement too. Ensure that you follow
all the naming conventions when choosing the
ideal name for your business venture. In
addition, try to keep a name thats easy to
remember and indicative of your business
activities. Never use controversial words or
terms that have a reference to any God or
religion.

3. Select the Ideal Business Location for your
Business
Where do you want to start a business in Dubai?
Do you have an in-depth understanding of each
business zone in the UAE? Where do you expect to
find your target audience? All these questions
must be addressed before you finalize your
companys establishment location. If your
business belongs to the media and communication
category, its lucrative to launch your venture
in DMC (Dubai Media City). Furthermore,
financial firms find a home for their ventures
in the DIFC (Dubai International Financial
Center), and the list goes on. Moreover, you also
have the opportunity to register your company in
the mainland/offshore regions.

4. Rent an Office Space
All companies in the UAE must have an official
business address because all the legal
communications are delivered to this location
only. However, this doesnt force you to invest
in real estate property or physical office
space. The UAEs government allows you to launch
your company remotely by securing a virtual
office space. The entrepreneurs in the UK who
arent familiar with virtual offices can connect
with Shuraas business experts. In addition, you
can also invest in cost-friendly flexi-desk
options to open your dream venture in the
Emirates.

5. Obtain the Desired Business License
Once youve finished the steps discussed above,
you can get started with this step where you need
to apply for a trading license. Its the legal
permit to carry out all the business activities
mentioned in your approved license. However, you
dont need to worry in case some of the
activities still remain uncovered. All you need
to do is apply for external approvals to gain
legal consent from all the concerned
departments. After that, all thats left is to
get started with your day-to-day operations. The
company formation experts at Shuraa UK take care
of all your licensing requirements. In addition,
we provide end-to-end business assistance for
your sheer convenience.

6. Manage Visas and Open an Account
The investors and entrepreneurs in the UK might
not be aware of the hassle-free process
maintained by the UAEs government for visa
application and processing. All the steps are
well- defined, and you can procure visas for
yourself and your family members in a quick
time. Moreover, you can apply for more visas
after expanding the size of your rented office
space in the UAE. Finally, dont forget to open
a corporate bank account in a reputed bank of
your choice. Its a critical step if you want to
start a business in Dubai as youll need this
account to manage all the funds and transactions.
