100% Profit Repatriation. Zero Hassle. Let NEXO Services handle the government paperwork, legal structuring, and bank account setup so you can focus on scaling your trade operations.
If your business model revolves around buying, selling, importing, or exporting goods, a Commercial License is your essential legal foundation in the UAE. Issued primarily by the Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) for mainland companies, this license grants you the legal authority to trade products both within the thriving local UAE market and across international borders.

A major advantage of the Dubai Commercial License is its flexibility across related trading categories.

A Dubai Commercial License gives your company a credible platform to trade, hire, bank and scale.
Enjoy 100% repatriation of your capital and business profits.
Sponsor and hire foreign employees according to your physical office space and applicable approvals.
Import goods from overseas and export globally through Dubai's ports and aviation hubs.
Establish credible corporate bank accounts for international trade finance and high-volume transactions.
The total cost depends on your legal structure, such as an LLC or Branch Office, office location and visa requirements. These figures are general estimates and can vary by application.
Navigating DET approvals, drafting legal memorandums and coordinating government paperwork can stall your launch. NEXO Services turns the process into a clear, fast-tracked setup experience so you can focus on trading.
We analyse your business model to select and bundle permitted activities, maximizing your operational scope without unnecessary extra fees.
From DET name approval and MOA notarisation to Ejari registration, our team coordinates the administrative steps.
