Trade Licence Renewal Dubai
Dubai trade licence renewal is required annually to keep your company in good standing and avoid penalties or operational interruptions. AEG reviews your licence expiry, tenancy contract and activity codes, then coordinates renewal with the DED or Free Zone authority. We handle Ejari, immigration quota updates, insurance checks and any additional approvals before the deadline. Our reminder-led workflow means renewals are prepared early, giving you certainty and avoiding last-minute disruption to your business.
