Noor Al Jabal, we specialize in guiding professionals—consultants, engineers, healthcare experts, educators, IT firms, artists, and more—through every step of obtaining a UAE Professional License. Whether you’re based in the Dubai mainland or operating from a Free Zone, we ensure a smooth, compliant, and cost-effective process.
1. Why Choose a Professional License in the UAE?
A Professional License empowers you to legally provide expertise-based services—such as consultancy, IT, medical, engineering, creative arts, and teaching—without trading physical goods .
Benefits include:
- ✅ 100% foreign ownership (mainland + Free Zones)
- ✅ No equity-sharing; only a local service agent’s administrative role (if mainland)
- ✅ Lower costs compared to commercial or industrial licenses
- ✅ Ability to sponsor visas for yourself, employees, and family
2. Our Hassle-Free Licensing Process
- Select Your Business Activity
Choose from thousands of permitted professional activities (consultancy, education, ICT, legal, healthcare, design, etc.) - Trade Name Reservation
We help draft and reserve your business name in line with UAE naming standards - Initial Approval from DED / Free Zone Authority
We prepare and submit the application for initial review - Local Service Agent Setup (Mainland Only)
We appoint a UAE national as Local Service Agent (LSA)—required for mainland licenses; they do not own your business - Document Preparation

- Photos and NOC (if under an employment visa)
- Education and professional certificates, duly attested
- Tenancy contract (Ejari-registered if mainland)
