How to Choose the Best Business Activity for Your Dubai Company

Selecting the right business activity is one of the most critical steps in setting up a company in Dubai. The Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and various free zone authorities offer thousands of activity options, and choosing the wrong one can lead to legal issues or operational restrictions. This guide explains how to navigate the selection process to ensure your business license accurately reflects your intended functions.

Why Business Activity Matters

In Dubai, your trade license is directly linked to your business activity. This determines your legal structure, the type of office space you can rent, and even your eligibility for certain bank accounts. For more details on setup, check our Business Setup Guide.

Factors to Evaluate

• Operational Scope: Does the activity cover all your planned services?
• External Approvals: Some activities like healthcare or engineering require secondary approvals from relevant ministries.
• Jurisdiction Rules: Mainland licenses allow more flexibility than some niche free zones.
