Permits and Licenses    

Before starting any industry based business in Dubai, it is always necessary to obtain the necessary permissions and licenses.

However, the free zone authority is the authority in charge of issuing licenses at free zones.

This location must be convenient and well connected to the various places in Dubai. It should serve a practical purpose. But it should also not take away a considerable chunk of revenue as well, therefore choosing the right location plays a key role in the foundation of a base for a company. The company office has to be well furnished and stylish to create a good impression when clients are invited to a meeting. It should have all the facilities as well as recreational facilities to create a friendly environment for the staff.
