Initial Approval in Abu Dhabi

Move Your Business Setup to the Next Stage

Get professional support from DAAM to complete the initial approval stage of your Abu Dhabi business setup.

We help review your activity, legal structure and required documents before coordinating the application process.

What Does Initial Approval Mean?

Initial approval confirms that the relevant authority has no objection to your proposed business being established and allows you to proceed with the next company setup steps.

It is an important stage before completing the final licensing process, but it does not itself permit you to start conducting business activities.
