Real UAE Trade Name Rules to Keep in Mind
- Must include the appropriate legal form abbreviation (LLC, FZE, etc.)
- Cannot reference religious terms, government authorities, or third-party names/logos
- Must be genuinely distinct from existing registered names — minor tweaks don't resolve a conflict
- Mainland names need an accurate Arabic translation matching the English meaning
- Regulated words ("Bank," "Medical," "University," etc.) require corresponding sector approval
- Once reserved, a name is typically valid for 180 days before needing re-reservation
Frequently Asked Questions
No — these are creative starting-point suggestions only. Every name must still be checked for availability and formally reserved through the Department of Economy and Tourism (DED) or your chosen free zone authority. This tool has no access to any live trade name registry, so it cannot tell you whether a specific name is actually available.
No. This is a rule-based combinatorial generator, not a live AI/LLM call — it combines your keyword with word banks matched to your chosen style using fixed patterns, not generated fresh by a model each time.
The name must include the appropriate legal form abbreviation (LLC, FZE, etc.), cannot reference religious terms, government authorities, or third-party names/logos, and must be genuinely distinct from existing registered names — minor variations like added numbers don't resolve a conflict. Mainland names also need an accurate Arabic translation matching the English meaning.
Once formally reserved (not just generated here), a trade name is typically valid for 180 days, giving you time to complete the rest of the licensing process before needing to reserve it again.
Yes — words like "Bank," "Insurance," "Medical," or "University" trigger additional regulatory scrutiny and generally require the corresponding sector-specific approval before they can be used, regardless of how loosely you intended the word.

Common questions
Mainland or free zone: which is better?
It depends on where your customers are. A mainland licence lets you trade across the UAE market; a free zone suits businesses that serve international clients or operate from a single zone. Costs, visa quotas and office rules differ by authority, so compare quotes before you commit.
Do I need a local partner?
Many activities can now be 100% foreign-owned on the mainland, but some regulated activities still carry conditions. Confirm your activity with the licensing authority.
Are the figures on this page exact?
No. They are estimates based on typical published ranges. Final fees depend on the authority, the activity, the office type and the number of visas.
