A license is a very important part of your business. most business owners understand the importance of licenses in their business\u2019s life and acquire one before setting it up.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Location_is_important\"><\/span>Location is important<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A location isn\u2019t simply about where you would like to set up an office, shop, or factory but more about licensing jurisdiction. There are a number options available, from onshore, licensed by the Department of Economic Development (DED) in each emirate, to a growing number of free zones, often themed around particular industries or segments. Some licensing authorities allow you to set up as a freelancer or professional services provider. Others will limit your scope of activities so if you plan to expand your services in the future, make sure you are licensed in a zone or authority that allows you to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_Zones\"><\/span>Free Zones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Free zones can offer a suitable alternative to start-ups within specific sectors. A start-up looking to set up a manufacturing facility and export their products may consider Jebel Ali Free Zone. Other options include Hamriyah and Ras Al Khaimah free zones. Themed free zones such as Dubai internet City, Dubai Media City, or Dubai Design District can help start-ups within those sectors become part of the business community.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Local_partner_vs_local_service_agent\"><\/span>Local partner vs local service agent<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you decide to license onshore, everyone will tell you to find a local partner. This is not necessarily the case. Onshore professional licenses are available for activities such as consulting and other services and may be owned 100 per cent by a suitably qualified foreign national, although he or she must appoint a Local Service Agent (LSA). The LSA provides government registration services for a fixed annual fee and has no shareholding or involvement in the business. Such licensing also requires a physical office location.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Final_word\"><\/span>Final word<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is clear from the above-mentioned facts that Dubai has become the economic hub of the world.
