Overview

What trade licence renewal involves

A lapsed licence blocks banking, visas and contracts within days, and penalties compound monthly. We track your renewal calendar, prepare tenancy and insurance prerequisites in advance, and complete DED or free zone renewal typically within the week.

Clients on our annual care plan never see a renewal deadline again, we simply send the confirmation once it is done.

Benefits

Why businesses put renewal on autopilot with us

Tracked before expiry

Your renewal date is monitored in advance, so it is never discovered the week it lapses.

Linked documents synced

Establishment card, visa allocation and insurance are renewed in the same pass, not left mismatched to an updated licence.

Fine avoidance

Penalties for a lapsed licence compound monthly, timely renewal means they simply never start.

Tenancy prerequisites prepared

More renewals stall on the tenancy than on anything at the licensing counter. An Ejari that expired before the licence did, a tenancy contract in the wrong name, a landlord who has not renewed the registration, and the renewal will not process no matter how early you started. We check the tenancy position first, before the renewal window opens, because that is the part with a third party in it, and the part you cannot fix on the last day.

Who this is for

Business owners who want renewal handled proactively rather than reactively, companies with licences renewing under pressure or already lapsed, and clients who want an annual compliance plan so no government deadline is ever missed again.

Requirements & Process

What has to be current before you renew

Documents & eligibility

Renewal itself needs few new documents, the work is making sure everything linked to the licence is current before the application goes in.

Current trade licence copy, even if recently expired
Tenancy contract or Ejari registration, current and matching the licensed activity
Establishment card and immigration file number
Insurance certificate, where required by your licensing authority or activity
Memorandum of Association, if any amendment is being made at renewal
Passport and Emirates ID copies of owners and authorised signatories
Clearance of any outstanding fines or violations against the licence
No Objection Certificate from a sector regulator, for activities under one

Additional documents may be required depending on your licensing authority and business activity. We confirm the exact list for your case before any fee is paid.
