A Dubai Industrial Trade License is for businesses that transform raw materials into new, semi-finished, or finished products.
Activities include production, sorting, storage, and packaging. An industrial license requires a physical UAE warehouse. For details, contact Avantra Corporate Business Setup.
When applying for a UAE industrial license, hire a trusted business formation expert like Avantra Corporate to ensure accurate and stress-free paperwork.
To open a factory, obtain approval from the authorities. Existing locations, like free zones, are exempt.
Next, submit your industrial license application. Mainland businesses apply to the DED, while free zone businesses apply to the relevant authority. Avantra Corporate advisors can manage your application anywhere.
Before operating with an industrial license, obtain additional permits from the Chamber of Commerce, Industrial Register, and Ministry of Health. A company formation expert can handle these for you.
Register for a UAE visa to operate your industrial business. You can apply alongside your license, and Avantra Corporate can handle this. Sponsoring family members is also possible.
Both the UAE government and autonomous jurisdictions keep updating the list with additional business activities.

The location of your business plays a key role in determining overall costs. It is also important to consider any additional permits and certifications, which vary depending on the type of manufacturing industry you plan to establish in the UAE.
As a general estimate, obtaining an industrial license in Dubai costs approximately AED 25,000. However, this amount may fluctuate over time due to updates in pricing regulations. Setting up your business in a free-zone can be more cost-effective, as it typically involves lower initial setup fees and associated expenses.
Alternatively, establishing a mainland company offers direct access to Dubai’s local market. A mainland setup also allows unrestricted trading across the UAE, providing greater flexibility for business operations.
