How to open an interior design company in Dubai, UAE

Interior design is responsible for the aesthetics and functionality of a living or working space. Thanks to the ever-growing property market and the desire to create modern and eco-friendly projects in Dubai, the demand for design professionals is steadily increasing. The niche is broad enough to allow for any specialisation, from design projects for specific rooms - children's room, living room, bathroom - to turnkey work. Such services may include creating a layout of the space, purchasing suitable materials and bringing the project to life.

Having determined the direction and studied the target audience, it is possible to choose suitable activities for the licence. It's worth exploring the pros and cons of different jurisdictions and the specifics of their laws. By choosing to register a business in Mainland, you expand the potential number of clients in the UAE, but some free economic jurisdictions may offer more favourable tariff plans. Next, you should decide on the legal form of the future company and start selecting an original name to reflect the business.

With an approved name and a full set of documents, you can apply to the regulatory body for a licence. If you plan to operate from an office, you must rent a space before this step. After a thorough inspection, your company will be registered. Next, you can proceed with the process of visa for the founders and ID. The last step may be to open a bank account in the name of the company to accept payments from customers.
