How does the Estidama Dubai Lease Contract work?

Previously, to get a trade license for a mainland business in Dubai and the UAE, companies were required to rent a physical office of at least 200 square feet, as set by the Department of Economic Development (DED) in Dubai. After renting the space, DED officials would inspect the office, and only after approval would the trade license be issued.

Now, the DED has introduced a more flexible and affordable option for small businesses called the Estidama lease contract. This allows entrepreneurs to operate with a virtual office instead of a full physical space. The Estidama program makes it easier and more sustainable to start a business in Dubai.

You can now easily apply for an Estidama virtual office through approved providers like Arabian Square, which offers convenient business center solutions and expert guidance throughout the licensing process. Contact Arabian Square today to learn more and get started with your trade license in Dubai.

Here are a Few Benefits of an Estidama Contract in Dubai:

Replacement for EJARI

An EJARI is required for getting a trade license in the UAE. And you need to rent a physical place to get an EJARI. However, the Estidama issued by the Dubai Land Department will work as an Estidama EJARI. That means you can use that Estidama EJARI contract to apply for a trade license in Dubai. You will receive a business address from the business center where you get the Estidama EJARI contract.

Sponsor visas

Depending on the size of the office you lease or rent, you may sponsor a certain number of visas for employees from abroad. Of course, the bigger the office space the more visas you can sponsor. However, even if you fulfill your office needs with an Estidama lease contract. You may still need to bring in employees and workers from abroad. That is why even without a physical space, and Estidama enables you to sponsor up to four employment visas or labor quotas.

No need for a physical office space

Physical office spaces are expensive. They are not sustainable for many small businesses that can put the capital to better use. Many small businesses do not need a physical office space to work from. Most IT startups can efficiently work from home. In fact, regularly traveling to physical office space will be unproductive for these businesses because they are losing both time and money while commuting.

Various amenities

Depending on the business center you are getting the Estidama from, you will receive various amenities with the virtual office. Many business centers provide a front desk for your virtual office, while others give you the option of renting a dedicated desk. Some virtual offices also allow physical office spaces for few hours per month. They also provide meeting rooms should you need to meet with a client or a potential business partner.
