Trade license renewal in Dubai and across the UAE
Keep your company active and fine-free. We track your expiry dates and renew mainland DED and free zone trade licences, establishment cards, immigration cards and Ejari on your behalf.
Renew before the fines start
A UAE trade licence must be renewed every year. Once it lapses, monthly penalties accrue, visa applications are blocked, bank accounts can be frozen and government portals lock your file until everything is settled.
We start your renewal 45 days before expiry, confirm what has changed in your activity, tenancy and shareholding, settle the government fees and return your new licence — usually without you visiting a single counter.
What's included
Mainland DED renewal
License renewal with Dubai Economy, including Ejari registration or renewal, DED fee payment and the updated license copy.

Frequently asked
What happens if my licence has already expired?
How early should I renew?
Start 30–45 days before expiry, especially if your Ejari or office lease also needs renewing, as those approvals must be in place first.
Can I change my business activity during renewal?
Yes. Activity additions, trade name changes and shareholder amendments are usually cheaper and faster when processed with the renewal.
