License Freezing

Sometimes, your business may need to pause operations — and in such cases, you can freeze your trade license for up to three years. Here’s how you can freeze your UAE mainland license.

If you’re based in the UAE and plan to temporarily halt your business activities, the most practical option is to freeze your trade license. Licenses can be frozen for up to three years upon payment of a freezing fee. For sole establishments registered under the DED, the freezing period is limited to one year.

During the freeze period, the company is not permitted to conduct any business operations, as doing so would be illegal. However, the license owner or shareholder can still start a new venture by applying for a separate trade license under their name.
