What is a Trade License?

Your Official Permit to Conduct Business in the UAE

A Trade License is the official document issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) or a recognized Free Zone Authority that permits a company to operate within a specific jurisdiction. It clearly defines the legal structure, business activities, and ownership of the entity.

Without a valid trade license, you cannot open a corporate bank account, rent office space, or legally hire employees in the UAE. Silver Oak simplifies this entire registration process, ensuring you get the right license for your specific business activity.
