What is a Branch License?
A Branch License in the UAE lets a company, whether local or foreign, open a branch while keeping the same name, identity, and ownership as the main company. Unlike a subsidiary, a branch isn’t a separate entity—it’s just an extension of the parent company and operates under the same business activities.
Benefits of a Branch License:
- 100% Ownership
- Same Business Activities
- Access to the UAE Market
- Bank Account Opening
- No Capital Requirement
Types of Branches in the UAE
Foreign Branch
A foreign branch is an extension of an international company in the UAE. It operates under the same name and carries out the same business activities as the main company. To set up a foreign branch, you need approval from the relevant authorities.
Local Branch
A local branch is when a UAE company opens another branch in a different emirate. It helps the business grow while keeping the same trade license.
Free Zone Branch
A Free Zone Branch is a business branch opened in a UAE free zone. It allows full foreign ownership and offers tax benefits, but it can only do business within the free zone or internationally.
Representative Office
A representative office is a business branch that focuses on marketing and promotion. It doesn’t sell anything or make money but helps a company build its presence in the UAE.
