What is a General Trading License?

A General Trading License is the most highly sought-after commercial permit in Dubai. Unlike standard trade licenses that restrict you to a single product category (e.g., only electronics or only garments), a General Trading License empowers you to trade in virtually any physical product simultaneously.

Whether you want to import foodstuff, export building materials, and distribute tech gadgets all under one company name—this is the license you need.

  • Import, Export, and Re-Export multiple commodities.
  • Operate in the UAE local market directly (Mainland).
  • Eligible for multiple residency and employee visas.
  • Easy corporate bank account opening.
