- Describe the new work and compare it with the current licence.
- Check approvals and document changes before the amendment.
- Update relevant operating records after approval.
What is changing in the business?
Start with the new product or service and the role your company will perform. Compare it with the activities already shown on the licence. A small change in your proposal can be a meaningful change in licensed scope.
For example, a web design studio might want to sell computer equipment. Do not assume the new revenue is covered because the customers are the same. Ask the authority about the relevant trading activity and whether it can be combined with the existing services.
Ask the issuing authority for the amendment route
Dubai’s trade licence amendment service lists modifications that include business activities. Free zone companies should use their own authority’s current procedure. Requirements depend on the legal form and type of change.
Ask whether the activity needs external approval, different premises, a revised company document or a shareholder decision. Get those dependencies explained before advertising the expanded service.
What should you prepare?
- A copy of the current licence and company details.
- A plain-language description of the new work.
- The authority’s proposed activity and document checklist.
- Any required owner approvals or amended documents.
- A quote covering the amendment and recurring changes.
Also ask whether the change affects the renewal date or ongoing charges. Do not assume adding an activity always follows the same fee or timing across authorities.
Update the rest of the business after approval
Review the bank’s requirements for notifying a material change in activity. Check insurance, customer terms, supplier arrangements and any marketplace or payment provider records affected by the new work.
If the new activity involves goods, staff or regulated services, add the related operational permissions to the launch plan. A completed licence amendment does not automatically answer every product or professional approval question.
Keep the final amended licence and confirmation with the company records. Retain earlier versions where needed to explain the history of contracts or applications.
Kompani Setup can help coordinate a scoped amendment review and explain the quoted support. Send the current licence and the work you want to add so the comparison starts with the actual change.
