Overview

Never lose a day — or pay a fine — on renewals

A trade licence must be renewed every year. Miss the expiry and you face daily fines, blocked transactions, frozen visas and potential blacklisting — all of which cost far more than the renewal itself.

Smartgic tracks your expiry dates and handles the full renewal: tenancy/Ejari renewal, licence renewal with the authority, and alignment of your establishment card and visas — so your business never skips a beat.

Trade License Renewals FAQs

Answers to the questions clients ask most. Still unsure? Our advisors reply within the hour.

You incur daily late-renewal fines, and after a grace period your licence can be suspended — blocking visa processing and bank transactions. We renew ahead of time to prevent this.

Renewals can typically be processed in the weeks before expiry. We start early so there is never a gap in validity.

For mainland licences, a valid registered tenancy (Ejari) is usually required to renew the licence. We handle both together.

Once documents are in order, many renewals are completed within 1–2 working days.

Yes, renewal is a convenient time to add activities or update company details — we process amendments alongside the renewal.
