What is a Professional License used for?

A Professional License authorises individuals and firms to offer services based on skill, expertise, or intellectual capability — such as consultancy, IT services, marketing, education, and specialised advisory work.

Do I need a local service agent for a Professional License?

In most emirates, recent reforms allow 100% foreign ownership of professional licenses without a mandatory local service agent. A small number of regulated activities may still require one — we confirm this during your consultation.

Can a Professional License be 100% foreign owned?

Yes. Professional licenses have historically allowed full foreign ownership even before the 2021 mainland ownership reforms — though a Local Service Agent (a UAE national with no ownership stake) was traditionally required for administrative liaison. Recent reforms have removed this requirement in most emirates.

Which professions require additional approvals?

Regulated fields such as medical practice, legal consultancy, education, and engineering require an additional No Objection Certificate from the relevant health, legal, education, or engineering authority alongside your trade license.

Can I operate a Professional License from a virtual office or home?

Many free zones and select mainland categories permit virtual office or home-based setups for professional licenses, significantly reducing your setup and running costs.
