Dubai Industrial Company Formation is suitable for businesses involved in manufacturing, production, processing, packaging, assembly, or other approved industrial activities. For mainland businesses, Dubai’s Industrial Licence covers manufacturing and production activities across sectors such as food, textiles, paper, petroleum products, equipment, and appliances. The exact licence and approvals depend on the proposed industrial activity.
The formation process generally involves selecting the industrial activity and legal structure, reserving the trade name, obtaining initial approval, arranging an appropriate industrial facility or premises, and securing any additional approvals required for the activity before the licence is issued. Industrial businesses may also have specific requirements related to the factory location, production operations, safety, and regulatory compliance.
