How this service works
Company compliance covers the paperwork that keeps a trade licence valid beyond the day it was issued, licence amendments, activity changes, UBO and ESR disclosures, and any notice the Department of Economy and Tourism sends afterward. Ignoring a compliance notice rarely makes it go away.
We manage licence amendments and activity changes directly with DED, prepare UBO and Economic Substance Regulation filings on schedule, and respond to any compliance notice within the deadline it specifies.
Companies changing their business activity, groups reviewing their UBO disclosure obligations, and any business that has received a DED compliance notice rely on this desk.
How the file moves
- We confirm the objective, list the documents required and quote government and service fees in writing.
- Your consultant prepares, types and submits the file, then follows it through each approval stage.
- You receive the outcome document, a copy for your records and a reminder before any renewal falls due.
Why clients use this desk
Drafted in Arabic and English
Contracts and filings are prepared bilingually from the outset, so nothing is rejected purely on language grounds.
MOHRE-aware drafting
Employment contracts and disciplinary processes are structured to match current MOHRE requirements before a dispute ever arises.
DED matters resolved directly
Licence amendments, activity changes and compliance notices are handled with the Department of Economy and Tourism on your behalf.
Frequently asked questions
What happens if a DED compliance notice is ignored?
Ignoring a notice can lead to fines or, in serious cases, restrictions on the licence itself. We recommend sending any notice to us as soon as it arrives so the response deadline is never at risk.
Who needs to file an Economic Substance Regulation notification?
Companies carrying out specific relevant activities defined under the regulations must file, even if no tax liability results. We assess whether your activity falls within scope.
