Frequently Asked Questions
What is a special license or external authority approval in Dubai?
A special license or external approval is an additional authorization required for businesses operating in regulated industries. It is normally obtained from the relevant government or regulatory authority before the business can legally begin its activities.
Which businesses require special approvals in Dubai?
Special approvals may be required for healthcare facilities, educational institutions, restaurants, gyms, transport companies, real estate businesses, media companies, tourism businesses, financial services, veterinary businesses, food establishments and other regulated activities.
Is a standard Dubai trade license enough for a regulated business?
Not always. A trade license allows a company to conduct its approved business activities, but regulated activities may also require permission from an external authority before the license can be issued, activated or used.
Which authorities provide special business approvals in Dubai?
The relevant authority depends on the selected business activity. Approvals may involve the Department of Economy and Tourism, Dubai Municipality, Dubai Health Authority, KHDA, RTA, Dubai Sports Council, Dubai Land Department, National Media Authority, TDRA or another responsible regulatory body.
How do I know which approvals my business requires?
The required approvals depend on your business activity, legal structure, location and planned operations. PROBIZ can review your business model, identify the relevant authorities and explain the approvals required before you submit your application.
What documents are generally required for special approvals?
Requirements vary by activity and authority. Common documents may include passport and visa copies, Emirates ID, trade name reservation, initial approval, business plan, professional qualifications, tenancy contract, layout drawings, safety documents and activity-specific certificates.
Do I need a physical office or commercial premises?
It depends on the activity. Businesses such as clinics, restaurants, gyms, schools and retail establishments generally require approved commercial premises. Certain consulting or professional activities may have more flexible office requirements.
How long does it take to obtain an authority approval?
Processing time depends on the authority, business activity, documentation and whether inspections or additional approvals are required. A complete and accurate application can help prevent unnecessary delays.
Can I operate my business while the approval is being processed?
You should not begin a regulated activity until all required licenses, permits and authority approvals have been issued. Operating without the necessary approvals may result in fines, suspension or other regulatory action.
Can one business require approvals from multiple authorities?
Yes. Some businesses may require approvals from more than one authority. For example, a regulated establishment may need licensing approval, municipality approval, safety clearance and approval from an industry-specific authority.
How much does a special license or authority approval cost?
The cost depends on the selected activity, licensing authority, external approvals, premises, inspections and additional documentation. PROBIZ can provide a detailed cost breakdown after reviewing your specific business requirements.
Can PROBIZ handle the complete approval process?
Yes. PROBIZ can assist with activity selection, document preparation, application submission, communication with the relevant authorities and follow-up throughout the licensing and approval process.
Does PROBIZ assist with license renewals and amendments?
Yes. PROBIZ can assist with license renewals, activity additions, company amendments, authority approval renewals and other ongoing compliance requirements.
