Secure hassle-free License Freezing services in Dubai, UAE, to temporarily halt your business activities while maintaining compliance with local regulations.
Sometimes your business needs to take a break, and in such cases, you can freeze a trade license for up to three years. This option is often considered as an alternative to License Cancellation in Dubai, especially when business owners plan to resume operations in the future. If you are in the UAE and intend to temporarily stop your business activities, freezing the business license can be a practical solution to remain compliant without fully closing the company.
Business licenses can be frozen for a period of up to three years by paying a prescribed freezing fee. For sole establishments registered with the DED, license freezing is permitted for a maximum period of one year.
Once a license is frozen, the company cannot carry out any business operations, as doing so would be illegal under UAE regulations. However, even with a frozen license, the owner or shareholders remain eligible to start a new venture by applying for a new trade license under their name, instead of proceeding with permanent company liquidation or license cancellation in Dubai.
