Just got your UAE trade licence? 10 things to set up in your first 30 days
Website, business email, Google Business Profile, WhatsApp, payments and more: the launch checklist for new UAE companies.
Your trade licence makes the company real on paper. These ten steps make it real to customers.
- Domain name that matches your brand
- Website that says who you help, how, and how to contact you
- Business email on your own domain, not a free email address
- Google Business Profile so you appear on Google Maps
- Social media profiles on the platforms your customers use
- A WhatsApp Business number, because customers in the UAE expect to message you
- A way to get paid: payment links, an online gateway or a POS
- A simple CRM so no enquiry is forgotten
- Corporate bank account
- Tax registration: check VAT and corporate tax registration requirements with the Federal Tax Authority
Write for one customer
The biggest mistake new companies make is writing a website for everyone. Decide who your ideal customer is first, then write every page, post and profile for them.
Make it findable from day one
Use the same business name, address and phone number everywhere. Add clear service pages and answer common questions in plain language. This helps Google, Maps and AI assistants understand and recommend you.
