Mainland Business Activities

A UAE mainland licence gives your business flexibility and scale.
You’ll gain access to thousands of approved business activities — some of which can even be bundled together, depending on your business model. Certain activities may require special approvals from relevant government departments. Proxima Eight will manage the entire process for you, from initial consultation to final approval.
