Nothing lapses. Nothing gets blocked.

Licence, establishment card, chamber, tenancy, visas and tax returns each renew on their own clock. We put them on one, and run it.

The renewals that keep the company operating

Which ones apply depends on how the company is set up and who it employs. Miss one and something downstream stops moving.

What actually happens when a filing lapses

The fine is the small part. The freeze is the real cost: no new visas, no hiring, no bank changes, staff stuck at borders.

  1. Trade licence lapsed

    Fines scale with each month of delay. Prolonged lapse triggers suspension, then cancellation proceedings.

  2. Immigration card expired

    No new visas, medicals or Emirates IDs — for anyone in the company — until it is back in force.

  3. VAT return missed

    Fixed penalty per offence, rising for repeats, plus percentage penalties on any unpaid tax.

  4. Corporate tax return missed

    A monthly penalty that escalates with delay, plus a percentage of the unpaid tax.

  5. UBO declaration missed

    Penalties scale with the nature and duration of the breach, and can escalate on re-offence.

  6. Economic substance, prior years

    Historical obligations don't disappear. Breaches from earlier periods still carry penalties today.

What clients say

Frequently asked

What happens if a UAE licence is renewed late?
The consequences depend on the authority, licence type, and length of the delay. Late fees, additional documents, temporary restrictions, or a more involved reinstatement process may apply. A lapse can also disrupt linked immigration or operational steps, so the correct renewal window should be checked before expiry.
Do mainland and free-zone companies renew in the same way?
No. Mainland and free-zone entities follow different authority processes, fee schedules, document requirements, and tenancy or facility rules. Most licences renew annually, but the exact requirements depend on the issuing authority and the company’s current setup.
Can you manage immigration and establishment-card renewals too?
Yes, where they are part of the company’s active setup. Immigration, establishment, labour, or authority records can have separate renewal dates and requirements from the trade licence. We confirm what is due, what documents are needed, and the correct sequence for the entity.
When should we start a renewal?
Start early enough to resolve missing documents, facility requirements, owner changes, outstanding filings, or authority queries before the expiry date. The appropriate lead time varies by authority and company profile. We review the renewal calendar and prepare the required steps in advance.
Can I close a UAE company if my plans change?
Yes, but closure is a controlled process rather than simply allowing a licence to expire. It can involve authority clearance, settlement of liabilities, visa and immigration cancellation, banking, tax, accounting, tenancy, and corporate-record steps. We assess the company’s status and provide a closure plan.
What else renews besides the trade licence?
Depending on the company, separate calendars can apply to establishment or immigration cards, visas, work permits, tenancy or office arrangements, chamber membership, activity approvals, insurance, tax registrations, annual returns, and corporate records. These dates do not necessarily align with the trade-licence expiry date.
What happens if an immigration or establishment card expires?
A lapse can affect visa processing, employee onboarding, medicals, Emirates ID steps, work-permit actions, and other linked immigration services. The correct remedy depends on the issuing authority, the duration of the lapse, and the company’s wider licence status.
Can a company be left dormant instead of being closed?
Sometimes, but a dormant company can still have licence, renewal, record-keeping, tax, banking, and authority obligations. Whether dormancy is appropriate depends on the entity, jurisdiction, future plans, costs, ownership, and the company’s actual compliance position.
