UAE Business Activity Selector

Choosing UAE business activities · 0/7 done

• Write one sentence for each thing you will sell or do. Each one needs a matching licensed activity.
• Search the licensing authority's activity list for each sentence and note the exact activity name and code.
• Check that your activities can sit on one licence; some combinations need separate licences or a different licence type.
• Flag activities that need approval from another regulator (for example health, education, food, finance or media).
• Check that the activities allow the office type and number of visas you need.
• Ask how fees change per extra activity before adding "nice to have" activities.
• Make sure your website and invoices describe only what the licence covers.

This tool doesn't hold the official activity list or its codes. Search the list published by the authority that will issue your licence (your emirate's economic department or your free zone) and confirm the final selection with them.
