Abu Dhabi Ministry of Economy Company Registration Preparation

1. Market research and positioning

in-depth understanding of Abu Dhabi's business environment, including the development prospects of different industries, market needs, etc.

According to its own development strategy, identify the type of company (such as free trade zone company, local company, wholly foreign-owned company, etc.) and business areas.

2. Determine the company name

prepare 3-5 alternate names in case the preferred name is rejected.

Make sure the name is unique and in line with local cultural and business norms, and avoid using words that may be misleading or offensive.

3. Prepare shareholder information

provide a copy of the shareholder's passport, visa page and resume.

4. Develop a business plan

summarize the company's business scope, market analysis and financial forecast.


Abu Dhabi Company Registration Considerations

1. Local Service Agent

for non-UAE nationals, a local service agent may be required to assist with government matters when registering in an urban area. This is usually not required in free zones.

2. Cultural customs

respect local cultural and religious customs, and avoid using content that may cause discomfort in company names or promotional materials.

3. Ongoing compliance

once established, companies are required to regularly renew their licenses, submit financial reports and comply with all relevant regulations in order to maintain a good corporate reputation.

4. Legal advice

it is recommended to hire professional legal counsel to ensure that the registration process is legal and compliant to avoid potential legal disputes.

5. Funding requirements

ensure that the minimum capital requirements are met and the relevant funds are in place to successfully complete the bank account opening and registration process.

6. Time planning

it takes approximately 7 to 14 working days from the time the application is submitted to the time the business license is obtained, depending on the completeness of the submission and the speed of review.
