Accumulation of business costs
For setting a business, you need to raise business capital as an investment that will pay for business licenses and visas of the workforce. The costs are dependent upon:

- The nature of license and activity required (it might be commercial, service-oriented or industrial)
Essential Government Entities
Commonly, there is a need to connect with DED (Department of Economic Development) of the related emirate in order to local initial approval and register the trade name. You can do this through DED’s e service or by visiting their office. After acquiring initial approval you can move towards more approvals from other authorities that are required for trading activities
Company’s Capital requirements
The capital requirements modify with respect to the nature of the business and legal form.
Nationality
