FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions for Start Ups
Contact Us img

Your Dubai Unified License (DUL) authorises you to conduct economic activities across the Emirate of Dubai, not only within Dubai Silicon Oasis. Mainland operation is governed by Executive Council Resolution No. (11) of 2025, which sets out how free zone companies can extend their activities beyond the free zone. Your advisor can confirm what this means for your specific licence and activity.

Setting up a startup in Dubai Silicon Oasis typically takes 1-2 weeks for the complete process, with the licensing process specifically taking about 7 days and company registration completed in 2-3 weeks. The application process takes a maximum of 10 working days (provided all documents are in place), and a company license and lease agreement is normally issued within 2 days from receipt of all legal documents and payment, with the entire process possible to complete remotely without requiring physical presence in Dubai.

Your business stays fully yours. Dubai Silicon Oasis has no requirement for a local sponsor or third-party co-owner at any stage.

STEP 1 | Personal Consultation
Your journey begins with a personal consultation to match real estate and licensing to your business needs. Choose between Service, Trade or Industrial licences, and confirm your activities against the ISIC and DED lists.

STEP 2 | Documentation & Approval
Your advisor confirms the documents your application needs. Once approved and licensed, you move into residency formalities and banking, introduced to partners across our network.

STEP 3 | Integration into the Community
You gain access to industry clusters, events and the Client Portal from day one. Our community team is on hand to help you get involved in Dubai Silicon Oasis.

Setting up a startup in DSO typically takes 1-2 weeks for the complete process, with the licensing process specifically taking about 7 days and company registration completed in 2-3 weeks.
