How much does a trade license cost in the UAE?

The cost of a trade license in the UAE varies depending on the business activity and the emirate in which you are setting up. On average, it can range from AED 10,000 to AED 15,000 for a standard business setup. As someone who recently renewed my license, I recommend budgeting for potential additional costs like visa fees and registration charges. Important: Always verify the specific requirements for your business type with the Department of Economic Development!
