The first step to registering a diamond trading business in Dubai is to choose a company name. Among the main requirements: uniqueness, relevance to the activity, absence of offensive or blasphemous expressions, names of famous brands, etc., are the main requirements. Therefore, it is worth preparing three variants of the name in advance for inspection by the state authorities.
Next, it is important to determine in which jurisdiction you will operate: in the Mainland or in one of the free economic zones. Each of them has its own bylaws, requirements and types of business activities. Location is usually determined by long-term business goals and customer base.
The choice of business activity will depend on the specialisation of the company. It may be manufacturing, wholesale or retail, e-commerce, etc. It is important at the initial stage to identify all the desired activities to be added to the licence. Once it is obtained, you can apply for a resident visa.
The last step is to open a corporate bank account. As the licence is very serious, you will need to provide as much documentation as possible to prove your ability to run the business and its financial security without fraud and money laundering.
