Dubai trade licence renewal
Trade licence renewal in Dubai is an annual obligation for mainland and free zone companies. Expired licences trigger fines, block visa renewals, and can lead to company strike-off.
Renewal requirements vary — mainland DET renewals need valid Ejari, while free zones often require audited financial statements and lease confirmation.
KPM Global Services manages renewal calendars, compiles required documents, submits applications, and ensures your company remains in good standing.
Licence renewal clients
- Companies approaching licence expiry date
- Businesses with lapsed licences seeking reinstatement
