Dubai Trade Name Registration: Everything You Need to Know

You need to register your business name(dubai trade name registration) before starting a business in the UAE. Our friendly and professional staff will help you every step of trade name registration. Getting a business license begins with registering a trade name.

A company without a dubai trade name registration is just a street address. Your company’s name is what distinguishes you from the rest. That’s why you need to register your business name in the UAE.


Our services are entirely geared toward you, the customer. This means tailored service, cost-effective solutions, rapid turn-around time, and keeping personal information private.


The Department of Economic Development in your emirate must first approve your trade name before you can operate your business. The UAE allows trade names to be registered within 24 hours.

Can't decide on a name for your business? Please let us know if you would like us to help you register your trade name in the United Arab Emirates.

You can't get a trade name that someone else has already used. The trade name should be unique.

Company names in the UAE should not violate public order or morality. Additionally, the DED will not approve misleading trade names. The DED also ensures that company names are appropriate for commercial activity.

Having a business name registration that does not contain the word "Allah" (God) or any other religious words is vital. Trade name registration in the UAE that is linked to the government or ruling authority is also not allowed.


Interested in finding a Dubai trade name?


Getting a trade name is easy and quick.

An application for a trade name can be filled out online. Cash or credit cards are accepted. The application must be accompanied by all the required documents, and the fee can be paid online or in person. You can register your business name in the United Arab Emirates both online and in person, and you can do both. Our Crosslink Business Setup team can help you register your business name with the Economic Department.


Looking for a company setup in the UAE?

All businesses registered in the UAE need to get a trade license. Trade licenses are not private documents because they have to be visible in all offices or stores. When you register your business with the Department of Economic Development, you can use a trading name for another company that has purchased a franchise.

In Dubai, you can register a trade name with ease and it will last for 6 months. If a customer’s trade name registration expires, he or she must get the name back and pay money.

If you don't get a trade name before the end of the reserve period, your name will be automatically cancelled.

If your business has a trade name, make sure that it is original. Trade names can be changed or cancelled if they are too similar to other trade names or don't meet the terms and conditions set out in the law.


How much do you have to pay to name your business?

You may have to pay different fees to register a trade name depending on which Emirates Economic Department you deal with, which Emirates you choose to register your business in, and which trade name you choose.

Registering a trade name in Dubai costs AED 620. You can also register a company name from another country for AED 2,000.

The cost of setting up a new business or trade name registration in the United Arab Emirates is the most important thing that you should talk about with an expert.
