All you need to know is explained in Dubai Explorer. Get yourself a copy for step by step instructions.

Most info also on government websites & you can google for that.

Licence costs vary dependent on the type of business and where it is registered.

There is a lot of red tape (get used to queueing in govt offices) but not that hard if you do it step by step.

It is time consuming but not so difficult...If you got all the docs correctly, and the company capital is already blocked in the bank,it is easy...
But, the first thing you do, get the location...The inspection committee will come over, qualify the place for your company activity, and then will issue the go ahead for the other things to get processed...
It's not the biiiiiiiig deal that many people think it is...It is just bureaucracy...

Employ a company PRO and they will do the legwork and they know the ins and outs and the ways around problems...
