TamkinExpress is a business registration and PRO services company based at Office No. 49, Musaffah M43, Abu Dhabi. We help investors register mainland companies across the UAE: trade licenses, LLC formation, government portal submissions, visas and renewals.
To register a business in the UAE, you choose an emirate and a license activity, reserve a trade name, obtain initial approval, register a tenancy contract for your premises, notarise a Memorandum of Association (for LLCs) and pay the government fees. Each emirate has its own licensing authority, such as ADDED in Abu Dhabi, Dubai Economy and Tourism in Dubai and SEDD in Sharjah. TamkinExpress manages the whole process for you from its Musaffah M43 office, and simple commercial licenses are often issued within 5 to 7 working days once documents are complete.
A mainland license lets you trade across the UAE market and work with government and corporate clients, and it requires registered premises in your emirate. A free zone license is issued by the free zone authority and usually limits direct trading in the local market. Many commercial and industrial activities now allow 100% foreign ownership on the mainland, while some regulated activities still carry ownership conditions. We confirm the rules for your activity before we file.
You deal with one team from the first call to the final license. We advise on the right license and emirate, prepare the documents, submit through the government portals, follow up with the authorities and then continue with visas, establishment card and bank introduction letters. Our office is open to walk-ins at Office No. 49, Musaffah M43, Abu Dhabi, so you can review your documents face to face.
