Launching a Retail Business in the UAE: From Concept to First Customer

Dreaming of your own boutique, showroom, or retail outlet in the UAE? We provide full support: from choosing the format and registering the business to resolving legal issues and negotiating lease agreements.


What the Service Includes

  • Selection and registration of business activity type.
  • Obtaining preliminary approval and trade name certificate.
  • Searching and verifying commercial real estate.
  • Signing a lease agreement with legal review of terms.
  • Company registration and license issuance.
  • Preparation of charter and founding documents.

Depending on the store format — from a boutique in a mall to a standalone building — we select a suitable property, accompany the transaction, and organize renovations if necessary. Most spaces are rented in Shell & Core condition, and without supervision, the project can be delayed for months. We take on project management functions, controlling timelines, budget, and client interests.


Launch Timelines

  • Business registration.
  • Lease terms agreement.
  • Renovation and interior design.

On average, the full cycle takes from 2 to 8 months, depending on the store format and chosen location.
