It is an authorisation from the relevant licensing authority for the approved business activities. The applicable mainland authority or free zone authority determines the licensing route, conditions, and validity.
Identify the business activity and jurisdiction, confirm the licence and legal structure, prepare the requested documents and premises arrangements, then complete the authority’s application process. Fazza can help coordinate these steps.
Review the expiry date and the issuing authority’s renewal requirements, prepare any requested supporting records, and complete the renewal process and applicable payments. Any changes or outstanding requirements should be checked before submission.
The exact checklist varies by authority, licence, and business circumstances. Your current licence and company information are useful starting points; tenancy records, owner documents, or approvals may also be requested for the applicable route.
Timing depends on the authority, application type, document readiness, and any additional approvals or queries. Ask for an estimate based on your case; no single timeline applies to every application.
Authority charges, business activities, legal structure, premises, selected package, and any amendments or additional approvals can affect the total. Ask for a breakdown separating government charges and service fees.
Fazza assists with activity additions or changes and company-detail amendments, such as names or shareholders. Eligibility, documents, and approvals depend on the authority and the proposed change.
Commercial, professional or service, industrial, and tourism-related licences are examples associated with different activities. Category names and eligibility differ by authority, so the actual business activity should guide the choice.
