A Simple 6-Step Process with Rising Star Services
Starting a mainland business in Dubai is easier than ever — when you have the right partner. At Rising Star Services, we handle everything from paperwork to approvals, so you can focus on your vision.
1. Choose Your Business Activity
Identify your primary business activity from over 2,000 options approved by the Department of Economic Development (DED). We guide you in selecting the most suitable category aligned with your goals.
2. Trade Name Registration
Your company name reflects your brand. We assist you in reserving a unique, DED-compliant trade name that stands out and meets all legal requirements.
3. Initial Approval from DED
We submit your application for preliminary approval, allowing you to proceed with further steps. This confirms that the UAE government permits your proposed business activity.
4. Legal Structure & Local Sponsorship
Depending on your business type, a local Emirati partner (sponsor) may be needed. We offer secure and transparent sponsorship arrangements and help you determine the right legal structure for your company.
5. Office Space & Tenancy Contract
A physical address is mandatory for a mainland license. We help you find and secure an Ejari-registered office that suits your business needs and complies with DED regulations.
6. Business License Issuance
Once all documentation is in place, we finalize the process and obtain your official DED business license, allowing you to legally operate your mainland company in Dubai.
Here’s what you’ll need:
