About this service
Business License with Qube Business Solutions
Every commercial activity in the UAE requires a valid trade licence naming the exact activities you are permitted to carry out. Choosing the correct activity codes at the outset determines your visa quota, your banking options and whether you can invoice legitimately.
The activity codes printed on your licence are not a formality. They determine how many visas you may issue, whether banks will accept your account application, and whether your invoices are legally valid. We select codes from the authority's own list to match what you actually do, and add related activities where it costs nothing extra.
For existing companies, adding an activity mid-term is usually faster and cheaper than most owners expect, and is frequently the correct answer when a new revenue line falls outside the current licence. We check whether an amendment is sufficient before recommending a second licence.

The difference
Why choose our business license service?
What you actually get when you hand this over to our team.
02
Free additional activities identified
Most authorities permit several related activities within one fee band. We add every one you may plausibly need at no extra cost.
03
Amendment before duplication
If a new revenue line can be added to your existing licence, we say so rather than selling you a second company.
04
Sector approvals identified early
Food, healthcare, education and financial activities need extra ministry clearance. We flag it before you sign a lease.
05
Visa quota confirmed in writing
We tell you exactly how many visas your chosen licence and premises support before issuance, not afterwards.
06
Same-week issuance in most cases
With documents in hand, most straightforward licences are issued within three to seven working days.
