DED SERVICES

The Department of Economic Department (DED) is the authority charged with developing the emirate of Dubai's economic agenda. It upholds the Dubai government's vision of the region's structural transformation into a modified, innovative, service-based economy in order to improve the business environment and stimulate productive growth. A trade license called the Instant License can be given out in a matter of minutes to companies conducting commercial or expert business operations. 

An electronic Memorandum of Association (MOA) and a virtual site are issued as part of the ground breaking concept of providing immediate permits, which enables businessmen to easily create and do business in Dubai for the first year only. Additionally, you can start using your DED quick license right away.

DED and its agencies develop economic policies and plans, classify and support the growth of strategic industries, and provide services to domestic and international businesses. DED is also the licensing authority for businesses operating in Dubai. We offer highly personalized business setup services to corporate clients and individuals establishing companies, branches, or subsidiaries in the UAE.
