The United Arab Emirates is renowned for its many amenities for residents and a wide range of services to ensure a comfortable living and working environment. Cleaning services are something that will always be in demand given the fast pace and luxurious standard of living in Dubai. Carrying out assistance with cleaning is a sought-after service not only for businesses, but also for locals and residents. From cleaning private homes or hotels to disinfecting industrial premises, there are opportunities and high demand to carry out a wide variety of work in all areas of Dubai. Opening a cleaning company in the UAE can be a promising investment project.

Depending on the activities chosen, the organisation may be engaged in:

  • servicing residential premises, including surface cleaning services in apartments villas etc.;
  • maintenance of commercial premises, including workspaces, shops, hospitals, etc.;
  • industrial sector services, including disinfection of industrial premises, warehouses, etc, where the services include the cleaning of all industrial waste, hazardous waste and harmful chemicals;
  • cleaning of streets, footpaths, etc., ensuring cleanliness of public areas;
  • collection and disposal of waste polluting the beach, sea, all natural and artificial lakes, marine flora and fauna.

It is very important that the activities you choose to add to your licence match exactly the business you intend to run. Therefore, it is worth thinking in advance about the focus of your company and the list of services you will provide. You should prepare 3 variants of a business name reflecting the essence of the activity. One of them will be approved by the government.

The next decision is related to the location of the business: whether to register on the mainland or in one of the UAE free economic zones. It will affect the area where the company provides its services. Consequently, the most common type of licence is a local licence, issued by the Department of Economy and allowing the business to operate in mainland Dubai.

Once the company registration is complete, the next stage begins - visa and ID for the founder. Here you will have to collect a package of documents, undergo a medical examination and biometrics procedure. The same applies to the registration of employees, but first you have to register the company with the Ministry of Labour. Then you can start the process of opening a bank account.
Knowing the specifics of local legislation can save you a lot of time and money, so it is advisable to start the registration process in cooperation with specialists who can accompany you at every stage and give you valuable advice.
