Frequently asked questions
When should I start my licence renewal?
Ideally a few weeks before the expiry date, so there is time to update tenancy and other documents without risking late fines.
Do I need to update my tax registration after an amendment?
Often yes. Changes such as trade name, activities, address or shareholders may need to be updated with the FTA for VAT and Corporate Tax.
Can you add an activity to my free zone licence?
Yes. We check whether the activity is permitted in your free zone and whether extra approvals or fees apply.
What happens if my licence expires?
An expired licence can lead to fines and may restrict visas, banking and government transactions. We help you renew and resolve any penalties.
