Industrial Licensing Services in Dubai & UAE

Fast-Track Your Entry Into the UAE’s Growing Industrial Economy

An industrial licence in the UAE is a mandatory requirement for businesses engaged in manufacturing, processing, or packaging activities. For mainland operations, the licence is issued by the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology (MoIAT). In free zones, it is issued by the respective Free Zone Authority.

This licence permits the legal operation of factories, workshops, and industrial facilities, enabling local production, access to customs exemptions, and participation in government industrial support programmes. It is intended for investors, entrepreneurs, and companies seeking to establish or expand their manufacturing operations in Dubai or other emirates.

EGSH, as a government-authorised centre, handles the complete process — from initial approval to industrial registration and final licensing — ensuring compliance with UAE industrial regulations.

How long does it take to obtain an industrial licence in Dubai?

The standard processing time for an industrial licence in Dubai is approximately 5 working days, starting from the date of submission of all required documents and payment of applicable fees. This timeframe may vary if the activity involves site inspection, environmental clearance, or technical assessment by MoIAT or other relevant authorities. Applications submitted through EGSH are reviewed for compliance and processed directly via official government platforms.

What is the cost of an industrial licence in the UAE?

The cost of the industrial licence in the UAE includes government fees and an inspection fee starting from AED 100, depending on the activity and MoIAT regulations. Additional costs may apply if the licensing process involves modifications to the accredited activity, including travel, accommodation, or technical expenses related to field assessment. Total costs vary depending on business activity, location (mainland or free zone), and facility type. EGSH provides a complete cost breakdown and ensures accurate fee calculation.

What is the difference between a trade licence and a manufacturing licence in the UAE?

A trade licence enables businesses to buy, sell, or distribute goods and services. In contrast, a manufacturing (industrial) licence in the UAE is required for activities involving the production, processing, or assembly of materials. The MoIAT issues the manufacturing licence and requires additional approvals, including classification of industrial activity, facility inspection, and environmental compliance.

What is the minimum capital required for the UAE industrial licence?

To obtain an industrial licence in the UAE, MoIAT generally requires a minimum share capital of AED 250,000 for mainland activities. Requirements may vary by emirate and activity type. The business must also have a physical facility and adequate staff (usually 10 or more employees, depending on classification).

Can a foreign investor apply for an industrial licence through a Free Zone?

A foreign investor can apply for an industrial licence in a free zone without requiring a local sponsor. Free Zones offer 100% foreign ownership and simplified setup procedures for eligible industrial activities. EGSH provides end-to-end assistance for obtaining an industrial licence in a free zone, including approvals, facility registration, and proper documentation.

How often do I need to renew the UAE industrial licence?

The UAE industrial licence must be renewed annually. Renewal requires updated company documents, proof of ongoing activity, and payment of applicable government fees. Late renewal incurs penalties. EGSH assists with timely licence renewal, ensures all documents meet current MoIAT requirements, and coordinates the process through official government systems.
