Getting a trade licence in the UAE needn’t be a long and costly process.

When you streamline the process, you can obtain the relevant trade licence in days rather than weeks. Acting as your digital consultant, the Sharika app is a cost-effective way to make sure that all the correct paperwork is in place - at a pace that suits you.

Until you have to visit a government office to hand over documentation, everything can be done online on our user-friendly app. You can use the research tool to find out how your specific business will operate in the UAE, and follow the straightforward workflow to make sure you're dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts.

We're collaborating with the government to ensure that everything we do is accurate and up-to-date, and that our approach meets with approval.

Sharika - your digital consultant to obtain business licences in the UAE

Because starting a business in the UAE can be complex, it’s all-too-easy to feel overwhelmed. Sharika gives you all the knowledge and confidence you need to feel in control of your own business, with no need to involve unnecessary third parties.

You can find out all the intricacies of specific UAE commercial issues, such as free zone business set up in Dubai and mainland company formation. Unlike some human versions, our digital consultant will not try to send your business in a certain direction - you're in charge, and will be able to work confidently within the correct statutory parameters.

Supporting your business growth, as long as you need us.

Once you have registered with Sharika and paid the one-off sign-up fee, you have unlimited access to the app for as long as you need it. Unlike working with a consultant, you can continue to use the app long after your trade licences and visa are in place.

We've created a content-rich platform, full of expert-curated content to support everything from thinking up new business ideas to finding the best places to live. If you would like human intervention at any point, one of the helpful Sharika team can support you through the workflow process.
