How do I choose the licence activities for a DMCC company?

Last updated: Oct 21, 2026, 17:46 (UTC+08:00)

Start from what you will actually invoice for, because DMCC licenses specific activities and your list drives the approvals, the office type and sometimes the capital. Choosing too narrowly means amending the licence later; choosing regulated activities you do not need adds approvals and time. We map your business to the activity list before you apply.
