An expired trade licence means automatic fines, frozen bank accounts and blocked visas. We track your renewal date, prepare everything in advance, and renew on time — every year, without you thinking about it.
Miss the date and penalties accrue immediately — plus banks can freeze accounts linked to expired licences.
Establishment cards, office leases, visas and insurance often renew together. We align the whole stack.
Renewing for 2 years saves 15%, 3 years saves 20% — we structure it when your zone allows.
When you start your business in the UAE, you obtain a trade licence first — and renewing it is a crucial administrative task. We ensure legal compliance and uninterrupted operations. We understand that managing this process can be time-consuming and overwhelming — that is why Emirates Business Setup takes care of the entire licence renewal process, allowing you to focus on your core business activities.
A penalty of AED 200 per month is imposed for late licence renewal, accumulating once the 28-day grace period after your licence expiration has passed — each month without renewal adds another AED 200. Beyond fines, an expired licence can freeze your bank account, block visa processing and disrupt operations. Our renewal reminders make sure it simply never happens.
We collect your expiring licence and establishment card copy — giving us your expiry dates, local sponsor status and shareholder details. After carefully reviewing your current licences, we confirm all necessary documents and requirements for a successful renewal.
You receive a clear quote — it varies per licence depending on your business activities, location and any required permits. No hidden fees.
Our team checks and organises everything required — tenancy contract (Ejari), passport and Emirates ID copies, MoA, and any additional permits or approvals for your business type — and submits the complete file to the Department of Economic Development (or your free zone authority) on your behalf, fully compliant with their guidelines.
Any changes must be updated before renewal: additions or changes to business activities, shareholder changes (adding or removing a partner), or a change of company location. We handle these amendments as part of the renewal so nothing bounces at the authority.
Every client goes into our renewal tracking: reminders before expiry, timely processing, zero fines. Combine with our accounting packages and PRO services for a complete compliance back office — one team, one WhatsApp.
