Trade License Renewal Made Easy

Every business in the UAE must renew its trade license annually to maintain legal operating status. Late renewals result in penalties, visa processing freezes, and potential business suspension. Similarly, any changes to your business — adding activities, changing partners, or updating company details — require formal amendments to your trade license.

YABS handles the entire renewal and amendment process with DED, free zone authorities, and all relevant government departments. We track your license expiry dates, prepare all documentation, and ensure renewals are completed before deadlines.

Whether you hold a mainland, free zone, or offshore license, our team ensures your business remains fully compliant and operational at all times.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about trade license renewal and amendments in the UAE.

What happens if I don't renew my trade license on time?
Late renewal results in daily fines that accumulate quickly. Your ability to process visas, open bank accounts, and conduct official business will be suspended. Extended non-renewal can lead to license cancellation. We recommend starting the renewal process at least 30 days before expiry.
How long does a trade license renewal take?
Standard mainland license renewal takes 2-3 business days. Free zone renewals typically take 1-5 business days depending on the authority. Express/same-day renewal is available for mainland licenses with an additional government fee.
Can I add new activities to my existing license?
Yes, you can add new business activities to your existing trade license through an amendment process. The new activities must be compatible with your license type and may require additional approvals from relevant ministries depending on the activity category.
Do I need to renew my Ejari when renewing my trade license?
Yes, for mainland companies, a valid Ejari (tenancy contract registration) is required for trade license renewal. If your Ejari has expired, it must be renewed first. We handle both Ejari and trade license renewals as part of our service.
Can I change my company from free zone to mainland?
Yes, it is possible to convert a free zone company to a mainland entity, though the process involves establishing a new mainland license and transferring operations. We guide you through the complete conversion process including all legal and regulatory requirements.
