DUBAI MAINLAND PROFESSIONAL LICENSE:
A Dubai Mainland Professional License allows individuals to establish a business in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Unlike other types of licenses, this one is specifically designed for those offering intellectual or skill-based services, such as consulting, carpentry, or running a beauty salon. When the business is owned by more than one individual, it is referred to as a civil company.
The Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai oversees the regulation and issuance of business licenses for companies operating within the emirate. Among the licenses it offers, the Mainland Professional License is designated for businesses engaged in professional services.
