Every product registered in Dubai must be linked to a licensed UAE company. Dubai Municipality and MOHAP require this to ensure brands meet safety and accountability standards. Without a valid trade license, your product registration application will not be accepted.
Your application will be rejected. If you’re selling cosmetics, for instance, you must hold a cosmetics-specific license not a general food or trading license. License activity must directly correspond to the product category you intend to register.
A Mainland license, issued by Dubai Economy & Tourism, allows you to sell directly across UAE supermarkets, pharmacies, and government channels. A Free Zone license offers faster, more affordable setup with 100% foreign ownership but requires a local agent or distributor for direct UAE retail access.
It depends on your distribution strategy. If you plan to supply pharmacies, salons, or supermarkets directly, a Mainland license is the right fit. If you’re an international brand focused on export, e-commerce, or B2B supply, a Free Zone license is typically more cost-effective and faster to obtain.
A Free Zone company can be set up in 2 to 4 days. A Mainland license typically takes 5 to 7 days. PRD manages all documentation and government coordination, so your company is operational as quickly as the authority allows.
PRD’s packages start from AED 5,550 for a Free Zone setup and AED 13,900 for a Free Zone setup with visa processing. Mainland licensing costs vary and are best confirmed during a free consultation, as they depend on office lease requirements and activity type.
You will need three proposed company names, passport copies of all shareholders, a UAE entry stamp or visa page, and a passport-size photograph. Mainland setups additionally require an office lease agreement.
Once your trade license is approved, PRD begins the Dubai Municipality or MOHAP product registration process immediately. This stage typically takes 7 to 14 days, depending on the product category and regulatory authority requirements.
Yes. Both Free Zone and Mainland structures now allow 100% foreign ownership in most business activities. This means international brands can establish a fully owned UAE entity without requiring a local partner.
For Mainland companies, an office lease is required. Free Zone setups often offer virtual office options, making them significantly more affordable for brands that do not need a physical UAE presence initially.
PRD supports registration for cosmetics, food products, health supplements, and cleaning products. Each category falls under specific regulatory authorities typically Dubai Municipality or MOHAP and requires a matching trade license activity.
Yes. Free Zone companies do not have direct access to UAE retail channels such as pharmacies or supermarkets. To distribute through these outlets, a Free Zone company must work through a licensed local distributor or agent.
From initial consultation to product registration, the full process typically takes between 2 to 4 weeks. Free Zone setup takes 2 to 4 days, Mainland takes 5 to 7 days, and product registration adds another 7 to 14 days after license issuance.
Products are registered through Dubai Municipality’s systems or the Montaji portal, depending on the product type and the relevant authority. PRD ensures your company is set up with the correct compliance structure for your specific portal.
Yes. PRD provides assistance with corporate bank account opening at major local UAE banks as part of their business setup support. This is included alongside documentation preparation, Emirates ID processing, and compliance assurance.
