  • Manufacturing License in UAE
  • Mon 21 Dec 2020 | By : admin

Normally in UAE activities are divided into 3 categories, which are: Commercial, Professional and Industrial. Commercial activities are wherein the client does trading or buying and selling of commodities. Professional license is where you can provide services to the end users. We will discuss broadly about Industrial or Manufacturing license under this article. Manufacturing License is where it majorly concerns the production, fabrication or assembly of goods. If someone’s core business is to transform raw materials into finished goods they need to have an Industrial License.
