How to Start a Business in Abu Dhabi

To start a business in Abu Dhabi, you'll choose a legal structure & activity, reserve a trade name, get initial approvals via online platforms like TAMM, secure an office or virtual license, draft legal docs (MOA/LSA), and finalize approvals with local authorities, potentially needing an Emirati partner for mainland setups, with the entire process streamlined digitally but requiring key documents like passports, address proof, and a business plan. Our consultants at Shuraa Business Setup analyse your business model, risk tolerance, and expansion plans to recommend the ideal legal entity.
