UAE Trade License Extraction

Overview & Purpose

The UAE Trade License Extraction Service is designed to streamline the extraction process for UAE Trade Licenses using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. By leveraging advanced OCR algorithms, our solution accurately extracts key information such as issue date, expiry date, document type, business name, address, business activities, issuing region, issuing country, issuing authority, additional data (such as managers and establishment date), and shareholder patterns from trade license documents.

UAE Trade License

The UAE Trade License is an official authorization granted to entities by the relevant government authorities in the UAE. It enables businesses to engage in specific commercial activities within the designated jurisdiction and in accordance with UAE laws and regulations. The trade license consists of the following components:

License Type: Categorizes the trade license based on the nature of business activities, including commercial, professional, industrial, or tourism-related licenses. Each license type specifies the permissible scope of business operations.
Legal Form: Indicates the legal form of the business entity, such as Limited Liability Company (LLC), Sole Proprietorship, Partnership, Free Zone Company, or Branch of a Foreign Company. This information defines the legal framework and obligations of the business.
Trade Name: The registered trade name under which the business operates, complying with guidelines set by the relevant licensing authority. It must be unique and should not infringe upon existing trademarks or copyrights.
Activities: Specifies the permitted business activities authorized for the licensee, aligned with the UAE's Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system and approved business categories.
Validity: Indicates the period during which the trade license is valid, requiring timely renewal to ensure uninterrupted business operations.
Regulatory Authority: Mentions the specific government authority responsible for issuing and regulating the trade license. This information helps identify the relevant authority for inquiries, compliance, or updates related to the trade license.

The UAE Trade License provides a comprehensive overview of the business's legal status, authorized activities, and regulatory compliance, serving as a fundamental document that demonstrates legitimacy and adherence to trade laws in the UAE.
