License requirements and procedure
To start an ecommerce business in UAE, getting a free zone license is often the most suitable option as it offers benefits like 100% ownership, tax exemptions and the ability to sell internationally without an office requirement. However, it is important to research and compare different license options to decide which one best fits your business needs. After deciding, the next step is to apply for the license by submitting necessary documents such as passport copies, visa copy, trade name options, residence address and payment proof to the licensing authority. The process can take up to 14 days, and you will need to pay required fees which can vary based on the license type and business location.
If you’re considering starting an ecommerce business in the UAE and obtaining an ecommerce license, it’s a good idea to seek the advice of business formation experts to assess your individual requirements and the related costs. As previously stated, the type of license and the location of your business can influence the fees you’ll need to pay. You may contact Choose UAE or use our cost calculator for further assistance.
