What is a General Trading License in UAE?

A general trading license is a business license that allows a business to trade in many goods. From electronics, clothing, and furniture, to packaged food items, accessories, and so on – all these are covered by a general trading license. It is perfect for firms that would want to trade in various unrelated products on a single license.

This form of license differs from a specific trading license which allows trading only for one category (i.e, textiles, or electronics). The general trading license is more flexible, and therefore it is highly attractive for new businesses and foreigners.

Advantages of a General Trading License in UAE

  • Flexibility to deal with different products under a single permit
  • Opportunities of accessing the local and global markets
  • 100% foreign ownership in free zones
  • Eligibility for UAE residence visas for investors and workers
  • 0% personal income tax and competitive corporate tax rates
  • E–commerce friendly- you can trade online and build your digital presence
  • Reliable logistics and supply chain (SC) environment

  • Passport copies of all shareholders
