What are the trade license costs in Dubai for new businesses?

The cost of a trade license for new businesses in Dubai generally ranges from AED 10,000 to AED 15,000, depending on the type of business and the licensing authority. This fee often covers various aspects such as registration and initial approvals. As an expat who has renewed licenses several times, I recommend budgeting for additional costs like office space and visas. Always check with the DED for the latest updates.
