What Is an Industrial License?

The UAE’s industrial license allows you to perform industrial tasks such as manufacturing, refining, and other activities. You can carry out this activity as a sole proprietor, a corporation, or a company based in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates. Furthermore, the UAE Industries Act 1951 states that obtaining an industrial license is required before beginning commercial operations. Administrative authorities and councils overseeing the UAE’s corporate ecosystem are in charge of streamlining business procedures and organising and maintaining a forgiving business climate. This is accomplished by approving sectorspecific commercial activity while keeping a close eye on legal violations, the workplace environment, and human resources.
