Our Core PRO & Corporate Solutions

At Glimmer, we know that every business is different. Whether your office is in the heart of the city or in a specialized business park, we have the right solution for you. We handle all the different types of licenses so you don’t have to figure it out alone.

DED (Mainland) License Renewal

If your business is registered with the Dubai Economy and Tourism (DET), we’ve got you covered. We manage everything for Mainland trade license renewal, including checking your Ejari (tenancy contract) and getting the necessary approvals from the government. We make sure your Mainland business stays compliant with all local laws quickly and easily.

Free Zone License Renewal

Every Free Zone in Dubai, like DMCC, JAFZA, or IFZA, has its own specific rules and portals. Glimmer specializes in working with these zones to renew trade license certificates for our clients. We talk to the Free Zone authorities for you, submit the right documents, and ensure your license is updated without you having to log into multiple systems.

License Amendments & Updates

Do you need to change your business name, add a new partner, or move to a bigger office? The best time to do this is when you renew trade license documents. We can help you update your company trade license details while we renew it. This saves you time and extra government trips, keeping all your business information current and correct.

Why Partner with Glimmer?

Choosing Glimmer means choosing peace of mind. When it is time for your trade license renewal, we don’t just process papers; we protect your business. Our team is dedicated to making sure you never face a penalty. We pride ourselves on being fast, honest, and easy to talk to, so you always know your company trade license is in safe hands.

Transparent Costing

No one likes hidden fees or surprise charges. At Glimmer, we give you a clear breakdown of exactly what you are paying to renew trade license permits. You will see the official government fees and our service fee separately. This way, you can plan your budget accurately without worrying about any "extra" costs appearing at the last minute.

Document Management

Keeping track of expiry dates and paperwork can be overwhelming. We take that burden off your shoulders by safely storing your documents and tracking your trade license renewal timeline. Our team will send you friendly reminders well before your license expires, ensuring we have plenty of time to finish the work without any rush.

Step 3

Bank & FTA Coordination

A renewed license is only half the job. Your bank and the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) also need to know that your business is updated. Glimmer helps you share your updated documents after you renew trade license status to keep your accounts active and ensures your VAT records are current.

The Risks of Late Renewal

Waiting until the last minute—or letting your license expire—can cause big problems. It is much easier to start your trade license renewal on time than to fix the issues caused by a delay. At Glimmer, we help you act fast to avoid these common risks:

Automatic Monthly Fines

The moment your license expires, the government starts charging fines for failing to complete your trade license renewal. These penalties add up every month.

Frozen Bank Accounts

Banks in Dubai are very strict. If they see your license has expired, they may freeze your corporate account.

Visa Problems

You cannot renew your own residency visa or those of your employees if the trade license renewal is not finished.

Blacklisting Risk

If a license is expired for too long, your company could be “blacklisted,” making it hard to do business in the UAE.

No Import or Export

Your customs code is linked to your license. If your license expires, your shipments might get stuck at the port.

Frequently Asked Questions for Business Owners

Is there a grace period for trade license renewal?

Yes, most jurisdictions offer a 30-day grace period. However, we recommend starting the process early to stay safe.

Can I renew my trade license without an office?

For Mainland businesses, an Ejari is usually required. Some Free Zones offer virtual options. We can help you find the best way to handle your trade license renewal based on your setup.

What happens if I miss the renewal deadline?

You will face monthly fines and potential bank account restrictions. It is best to act immediately to avoid higher costs.

How long does it take with Glimmer?

If your documents are ready, we can often complete the process within 24 to 48 hours
