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.

Excellent tax filing service by KWS accountant, Jumana. She takes full responsibility for tracking deadlines and sends reminders well in advance so I never have to worry about late filings or fines. Very knowledgeable, responsive, and stress-free. Highly recommend!

I had the pleasure of working with Khyati from KWS Middle East during the process of setting up our company structure and preparing for the next stages of expanding into the UAE.

Her approach was highly professional from start to finish. She dedicated significant time to understanding our business model, explaining each step of the procedure clearly, and ensuring we were fully prepared for every stage of the registration process. Communication was precise, structured, and always proactive.

What truly stood out was the level of support beyond the basic setup — including guidance and preparation for the subsequent phases of opening and operating a branch in the Emirates. This gave us clarity, confidence, and strategic direction moving forward.

I strongly recommend Khyati and KWS Middle East to anyone seeking reliable, transparent, and well-organized support for company formation in the UAE.

We would like to sincerely thank Mr. Muhammad Hasan for his outstanding support in setting up Zam Zam Suyi Restaurant in Dubai. From the very beginning, he handled everything with complete professionalism and clarity.

He supported us end-to-end — trade license, approvals, location selection, restaurant space finalization, fit-out coordination, and all legal and regulatory work. Setting up a fully fledged restaurant in Dubai is not easy, but Mr. Hasan made the entire process smooth, structured, and stress-free.

What we truly appreciated was his deep knowledge of local regulations, proactive approach, and constant follow-up until everything was completed properly. He always gave honest advice and ensured there were no delays or hidden issues.

Highly recommended for anyone planning to set up a restaurant or any business in Dubai. A reliable consultant who genuinely takes care of his clients.
