What We Handle
Everything required to get licensed on the Dubai mainland — planned, structured and executed the right way, so approvals line up and nothing sits waiting.
Trade Name & Initial Approval
Name reservation and initial approvals with the Department of Economic Development, handled correctly first time.
Activity Selection
Choosing from the permitted activity list so your licence covers what you actually intend to do.
MoA & Legal Drafting
Memorandum of Association and shareholding documents drafted, notarised and filed.
Office & Ejari
Tenancy and Ejari registration arranged to meet DED requirements without overcommitting on space.
Visas & Establishment Card
Immigration card plus residency visas for owners, partners and staff.
Banking, Tax & Renewals
Corporate account support, tax and VAT registration, and annual licence renewal.
Mainland gives you reach — if the paperwork is right.
Activity codes, tenancy, Ejari and approvals all have to line up. Get one wrong and the whole application waits. We keep the sequence tight.
How It Works
A simple, guided process designed to remove uncertainty and keep every step aligned. We take you from activity selection to licensing to ongoing compliance, so you launch smoothly and without delays.
activity & structure
We identify the correct activity codes and legal form for what you plan to trade.
Name and initial approval
Trade name reserved and initial DED approval obtained so the file can progress.
Documents and premises
MoA drafted and notarised, tenancy and Ejari arranged to satisfy the requirements.
Licence, visas and banking
Licence issued, then establishment card, visas and your corporate account application.

Why Tafeel
Mainland applications fail on detail more often than on substance — a mismatched activity code, an Ejari that does not match the licence, an approval requested out of order. We manage that sequence so your file keeps moving.
Activity codes done right
We pick codes that cover what you actually do, so you are not amending the licence six months later.
Premises handled sensibly
Tenancy and Ejari arranged to meet requirements without paying for space you do not need.
Approvals in the right order
Steps sequenced so nothing sits waiting on a document that was never requested.
Support past the licence
Visas, banking, tax and renewals continue with the same team afterwards.
