Can I change or add business activities after my company is formed?

Changing or adding business activities after company formation is permitted in Dubai. You will have to follow the specified procedure for amending the business activities. The Department of Economy and Tourism authorizes amendments to business activity in the mainland jurisdiction. The relevant Free Zone Authority will issue an amended trade license in the free zone.
A change in business activities may be required due to investment in new lucrative sectors, a change in business plan, expansion programs, diversified business investment targets, or performance issues in current business activities. Diversifying investment plans offers new markets that the business can tap into.
The amendment to business activities after business setup must comply with the laid-down rules. The process involves obtaining additional approval (if required, depending on the business sector) and including the change in business operations in the trade license.
