The Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) has introduced a game-changing initiative allowing businesses from other emirates and free zones to open branches in Abu Dhabi without the need for physical premises for one year. This progressive move is set to transform the UAE's business landscape, offering entrepreneurs and firms new opportunities to expand and thrive.
This policy applies to firms registered in other emirates and their respective free zones, covering over 1,200 economic activities.
Key highlights include:
• No physical office required for one year.
• The exemption applies from the date of license issuance.
• Businesses can operate fully under the licensed activities during this period.
This policy offers numerous advantages to businesses looking to expand into Abu Dhabi:
• Cost Efficiency:
Reduces the financial burden of securing office space, especially for startups and SMEs.
• Faster Market Entry:
Simplifies the process of setting up a presence in Abu Dhabi, enabling businesses to tap into its vibrant economy without delays.
• Access to Opportunities:
Abu Dhabi’s strategic location and diverse economy present a wealth of opportunities across industries such as technology, finance, healthcare, and tourism.
ADDED’s move to allow businesses from other emirates to open branches without physical premises underscores Abu Dhabi's focus on economic growth and business expansion. Entrepreneurs and companies should seize this opportunity to explore Abu Dhabi’s dynamic market and leverage the benefits of this forward-thinking policy.
