Requirements for the application procedure for an industrial license in Dubai
The main authority issuing industrial licenses is the Dubai Department of Economic Development (DED). Additional approvals might be required from the Dubai Municipality (DM) or specific ministries, depending on the activity of the company. For example, the companies which operate in the financial sector need to obtain also an approval from the Central Bank of the UAE. The enterprises which deal with insurances must address the Ministry of Economy and Commerce in order to receive a license for functioning. The Ministry of Health is another authority which can release authorization for medical institutions and businesses in the pharmaceutical area. In order to obtain an industrial license, the company needs to make proof of a psychical office in the UAE. The virtual office is not a valid option for obtaining this approval.
