FAQs

Professional Company Formation — Answered.

What is a professional company in Dubai and how does it differ from an LLC?

A Dubai professional company is a mainland legal form designed for licensed professionals offering services — consultants, doctors, engineers, lawyers, architects, accountants, and IT specialists. Unlike a commercial LLC, a professional company can only practise the specific profession shown on the license, and shareholders must typically hold relevant academic qualifications. A commercial LLC allows any approved trading activity.

How much does a Dubai professional company license cost in 2026?

YABS’s Dubai professional company package starts at AED 15,900 all‑in for 2026, including DED professional trade license, Ejari office tenancy, 2 investor visa quotas, MoA preparation, corporate bank introduction, and profession‑specific regulatory approvals (DHA, Dubai Municipality, Legal Affairs, etc. where required).

Do I need academic qualifications to form a professional company?

Yes. For most regulated professions (medical, legal, engineering, audit), the shareholders or at least one designated professional must hold recognised academic credentials and, in many cases, a specific UAE professional license (e.g. DHA for doctors, UAE Bar for lawyers, Dubai Municipality for engineers). Management consulting and IT consulting generally don’t require specific academic credentials but do require a relevant CV.

Can a professional company have multiple partners?

Yes. A Dubai professional company can have multiple partners, but each partner typically must be a qualified professional in the same field (for regulated professions). Mixed partnerships — e.g. a doctor and a non‑medical investor in a clinic — usually require a DHA‑approved medical director and specific shareholding ratios. YABS reviews each partnership case individually before submission.

Does a professional company pay UAE corporate tax?

Yes. Professional companies in Dubai are subject to the standard 9% UAE corporate tax on annual taxable profits above AED 375,000. Small business relief allows revenue up to AED 3 million to be treated at 0% (current law, until 31 December 2026). YABS includes FTA registration in every professional company package.
