Cleaning & Facilities Management in the UAE for Swedes

Why Dubai

A Dubai mainland company can apply for an unlimited visa quota in proportion to its office space, which free zone packages cannot match. Dubai mainland licences are issued by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), which currently processes most standard files in around 4 working days.

How Dubai works with GoldenKey

1. 
   Step 1

   Activity and legal form

   Importantly, we pick the precise activity codes from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) list and settle on the legal form — normally a LLC, or a sole establishment for individual professionals. This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to opening a cleaning and facilities company in the UAE as a Swedish founder.

2. 
   Step 2

   Trade name and initial approval

   GoldenKey reserves your trade name and obtains initial approval from the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), including any external approvals your activity needs.

3. 
   Step 3

   Office, MOA and submission

   Importantly, the memorandum of association is signed (online or before the notary), your tenancy is registered and the complete file is submitted to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET). This is also the point at which we answer any question specific to opening a cleaning and facilities company in the UAE as a Swedish founder.

4. 
   Step 4

   Licence, Chamber and immigration

   For most clients, with the licence in hand we register with the Chamber of Commerce and open the immigration and MOHRE files for your visas.
