All shareholders and directors’ passport copies, a trade name reservation certificate from the DED, the company’s Memorandum of Association (MOA), a lease agreement or Ejari certificate (if renting), and an authorized representative’s power of attorney are all required documents. Furthermore, extra permits from relevant government authorities, such as Civil Defense or Municipality, may be necessary, depending on the type of business activity and legal structure chosen. Before submitting registration paperwork to DED, make sure everything is in order and complete.
