Abu Dhabi Economics extends 'Trader' activities without HQ for a year
The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development has extended the practice period for the "Abu Dhabi Trader" license without a physical office by an additional year until 2026. This aims to facilitate the start and operation of businesses by allowing a license that does not require a physical office during the first three years, thereby helping to reduce start-up costs. Additionally, the range of permitted economic activities under the license has been expanded from 30 to over 1,200 activities. The duration of industrial licenses has been increased from two to three years, and for industrial projects from three to four years, to enhance investor flexibility. These initiatives are part of efforts to support entrepreneurship, stimulate investment, and ease market entry for startups, with the number of new licenses growing by 24% in 2025.
