Business License Process with DBM
The RAKEZ license process is straightforward with DBM’s guidance.

Trading licenses cover general trading and e-commerce, service licenses include consulting, IT, marketing, and legal activities, industrial licenses allow manufacturing and logistics, and freelance licenses cater to content creators, designers, and developers. Once the activity is selected, applicants submit required documents, including passport copies of shareholders, visa copies if already in the UAE, proof of address, and a business plan for certain activities. DBM handles trade name reservation, checks availability, and submits all documents to RAKEZ for approval. Upon approval, fees are paid and a digital business license is issued.
