Before licenceIFZA (Dubai)Free zone or mainland
- IFZA lists this activity; Ajman Free Zone does not carry it under the same name, so confirm the Ajman catalogue before switching lanes.
- Dubai mainland under DET lets you invoice UAE mainland clients directly, but it expects Ejari-registered premises and runs longer than a free-zone desk package.
- Department of Food Control clearance is required before the licence issues, which breaks any advertised same-week timeline.
- IFZA (Dubai) notes: Can be only practiced inside UAE/ requires retail space.
Also catalogued elsewhere
The same activity name appears in other authority catalogues we track. This is a name match, not a legal equivalence, and Dubai Setup Index does not file in these zones.

Does this activity need third-party approval?
Yes. Department of Food Control must clear the activity before the licence issues, so build that step into your timeline.
