📋 Step 2: Select Your Business Activity
The UAE requires you to define your exact business activity before registration. Examples:
- Marketing consultancy
- E-commerce trading
- IT services
- Import/export
- Events management
📌 Important: Different Free Zones support different activities. We’ll help you match the activity with the right zone for cost and visa flexibility.
🏷 Step 3: Reserve Your Trade Name
You’ll submit 2–3 options for your company name, and the authorities will approve one.
✅ Naming tips:
- Avoid religious or political words
- No abbreviations (unless it’s your name)
- Can end with FZE, LLC, or LTD depending on the license
EasyFreeZoneSetup handles this submission as part of your package.
🧾 Step 4: Apply for Your Business License
Once your activity and name are approved, it’s time to apply for a license.
Common license types:
- Professional License – for services, consulting
- Commercial License – for trading and products

📄 Documents you’ll need:
- Passport copy
- Visa (if applicable)

🕒 Setup time: 2 to 7 working days (faster in Free Zones)
🏢 Step 5: Choose an Office (or Go Virtual)

EasyFreeZoneSetup provides bundled office + license packages starting from AED 5,500/year.
