Business Ready
You trade legally, with a relationship manager retained for ongoing compliance.
Before we file
What you need to get started — and what we handle for you.
Most applications stall on missing documents, not on approvals. Prepare these six items and we can usually submit within one working day.
Passport copies
Clear colour scans for every shareholder and manager, valid for at least six months.
Emirates ID or visa page
Only if you already hold UAE residency — we advise on the NOC when you are employed.
Trade name options
Three preferred names in order. We check them against DED and free zone naming rules first.
Activity and business plan
A short description of what you sell. We map it to the correct licensed activity codes.
Proof of address
Tenancy contract, Ejari or a flexi-desk agreement, depending on the structure you choose.
Bank readiness pack
Source-of-funds summary and CV — this is what makes or breaks the compliance review.
Handled entirely by EasyPRO
- Initial approval and trade name reservation
- MOA drafting, notarisation and licence issuance
- Establishment card, visa quota and medical typing
