Business Compliance Services in the UAE

Navigating the UAE’s legal landscape can be complex. Business compliance services ensure that your operations meet all local regulatory requirements, reducing the risk of fines, penalties, or interruptions.

What Is Business Compliance?

Business compliance means aligning your company’s operations with UAE laws and regulations. It includes staying updated on legal changes and ensuring adherence in areas like licensing, employment, taxation, and reporting.

Why It Matters

Failure to comply can result in heavy fines, license suspension, or even imprisonment. Examples include operating without a valid trade license, not registering employees with MOHRE, or trading restricted goods.

Key Compliance Areas

  • Trade License: Mandatory for legal operation. Non-renewal can lead to AED 250–200,000 in fines or jail time.

  • MOHRE Registration: All employees must be registered, regardless of nationality or visa.

  • Corporate Tax: As of June 2023, a 9% tax applies to profits exceeding AED 375,000.

  • Restricted Goods: Selling alcohol, pork, or other banned items requires specific licensing.

goAML Compliance

Businesses must register on the goAML platform to combat money laundering and report suspicious activity. Registration with the UAE Financial Intelligence Unit is mandatory and includes submitting trade licenses and ownership details. Failure to register or report can lead to audits, fines, or legal action.
