How much does a trade license cost in Dubai?

A trade license in Dubai can cost you anywhere from AED 10,000 to AED 15,000, depending on the type of business and the location within the emirate. As someone who has been through this process, I found the breakdown of fees quite helpful; it typically includes registration, initial approval, and other government fees. It’s essential to remember that additional costs such as office rent and visas can add to your budget, so plan accordingly. Important: always consult the Department of Economic Development (DED) for the most accurate and updated fee structure.
