Overview
Need Professional License? Professional License is one of Horizon Line's core services, and our team manages every Professional License file directly — no subcontracting, no guesswork. A professional licence covers service-based, consultancy, and skill-based activities — legal, accounting, IT consulting, and similar — issued across all seven Emirates — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah and Umm Al Quwain, and unlike commercial licences can often be held with full foreign ownership regardless of Emirates.
Key Benefits
100% ownership for qualifying professions
Most professional activities qualify for full foreign ownership without a local service agent requirement in many cases.
Lower minimum capital expectations
Professional licences generally carry lighter capital requirements than commercial or industrial licences.
Personal-brand-friendly structure
Well suited to consultants and freelancers building a practice under their own name or a boutique brand.
100% foreign ownership with no local service agent capital
Professional licences allow full ownership while only requiring a local service agent for administrative liaison, not equity.
