- Ajman Free Zone lists this activity; check IFZA directly if you need a Dubai free-zone address on the licence.
- We hold no Dubai DET record for this activity, so treat mainland as unverified here rather than unavailable.
- Ajman Free Zone allows this activity only on warehouse or retail unit, so a virtual-office package will not carry it.

## 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.
