Acquiring a trade name for your business in Dubai mainland requires adherence to certain guidelines and procedures. Your chosen trade name must align with the nature of your business activities and receive official approval from the authorities before it can be used formally. The approval process ensures that the trade name is not already in use by another entity or has been previously registered. Additionally, it is essential that the trade name does not violate public morals or the public order of the UAE.

To verify the availability of your desired trade name, you can visit the Department of Economic Development (DED) websites of various emirates. You can also check for registered trade names on the UAE Ministry of Economy Unified Commercial Registration System and the National Economic Register.

Alternatively, if you wish to expedite the process, you may provide us with a list of potential trade names that reflect your business’s nature. Our team will then conduct a thorough availability check and proceed with securing the registration. Once approved, your trade name will be accompanied by the acronym of your legal structure, such as LLC, Civil Company or Sole Proprietor.
