The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), previously known as the Dubai Economic Department (DED), is the key government authority regulating business activity in Dubai. It plays a vital role in licensing, regulating, and supporting companies to operate within Dubai’s vibrant economy. At AIVES Document Clearing Services, we help companies, entrepreneurs, and investors navigate the DET’s services with efficiency and compliance, ensuring smooth operations from start to finish.
The DET is responsible for shaping Dubai’s pro-business environment by issuing licenses, monitoring compliance, and supporting sustainable growth. It provides the legal framework that allows businesses to flourish, whether operating as commercial, professional, or industrial entities.
Dubai has established itself as one of the world’s leading hubs for trade, investment, and entrepreneurship. Through the DET, the government has streamlined business setup procedures, introduced 100% foreign ownership for most activities, and aligned licensing with international best practices. This has created more opportunities for foreign investors while ensuring compliance with UAE laws.
The DET offers a wide range of services critical for businesses, including:
• Company registration and incorporation
• Trade name approval and reservation
• Licensing and renewals (commercial, professional, and industrial)
• Activity amendments and license upgrades
• Permits for business operations, signage, and branches
• Regulatory guidance to ensure compliance with UAE laws
