UAE Professional License

Start a Professional Company in Dubai

How to start a Professional Company in Dubai?

To open a professional firm in the UAE, you need to acquire a professional license in Dubai for your business. A professional license is necessary for the provision of non-physical services that require physical talent, or intellectual abilities. For example, consultancy, bookkeeping, graphic designing, etc.

Professional license is issued to individual(s) or an LLC to practice any profession in which the business relies on intellectual skills and/or physical work. Also, the business activities does not only involve monetary investments alone. Now foreign investors can own 100% share of a mainland professional company in Dubai.

There is no more requirement of a UAE national to hold the 51% share of the LLC professional company. Whereas, as per Article 3 of the legal document of memorandum, the duties and obligations of the second party towards the first party and others are limited to extending the legal experience of an ordinary man in order to enable the first party to carry out its activity in the emirate of Dubai. For instance, to assist in obtaining and renewing the professional license and to assist in obtaining the necessary employment visas and renewing the same with the ministry of labour and social affairs and other governmental and semi-governmental departments and bodies.

Professional Company vs Civil Company

Differences between Professional Company and Civil Company

What are differences between Professional Company and Civil Company?

A professional company enables a licensed professional to conduct practice as a legal entity, while giving liability protection and tax benefits. It is also known as professional corporation (PC), professional service corporation (PSC), and professional association (PA). Some examples of the professionals are engineers, lawyers, doctors, physicians, designers, accountants, etc.

Whereas, a civil company is a business partnership of two or more professionals to perform service-related activities. All the partners involved in this venture must possess a professional degree in their specific field. Also, the owners of a civil company can have any nationality.

Overview of a Professional License in Dubai

Benefits of a Professional Company in Dubai

Which are advantages of a Professional Company in Dubai? Here are the top rewards of a professional company in Dubai.

An individual establishment or a civil works company is formed under the UAE Civil Code. This law restricts them to perform only “non-commercial” or civil activities.
Any trade-related activity is not allowed under professional license in Dubai.
Now foreigners can have 100% ownership of the business.
They no longer require the assistance of the local sponsors to start their businesses in Dubai with shares.
However, they can onboard a local agent without any shareholding rights, and with no interference in the business. A local agent can smoothly perform liaison activities in different regulatory departments on a service model.
Depending on the business activity, professional firm can be an LLC (limited liability company).
A foreign company can become a partner in Civil Company, if it reflects the same business activity as the parent company.

My wife engaged KWS Middle East in October 2025 to assist with a UAE Golden Visa application and paid AED 12,500 upfront.

She was subsequently informed that the application had not been approved. The signed agreement states that where approval is not obtained, the amount paid will be refunded subject to consultancy charges of up to AED 3,000.

Despite requesting her refund for more than five months and following up repeatedly, the matter remains unresolved. No satisfactory explanation has been provided as to why the refund clause in the agreement does not apply.

After raising concerns publicly due to the lack of progress, she was informed that her comments could amount to a criminal offence under UAE law and was subsequently blocked on social media. Having reviewed the agreement and sought legal guidance, we do not accept that a customer raising a genuine contractual dispute and seeking a refund they believe is due under a signed agreement is acting improperly.

We remain willing to update this review if KWS resolves the matter professionally and in accordance with the terms of the agreement.
