Legal requirements for starting a business by a minor

Legal requirements for starting a business by a minor in the UAE

I am currently 16 and I’m an Emirati national. I am willing to start my own e-commerce business.

Is it possible to get an e-commerce license even if I am a minor?

Hi,

The minimum age requirement is 18 to start a business in the UAE. However, you can register one of your legal guardians as the temporary owner of the company.

Once you reach the minimum age criteria, the shares can be transferred to you.

For further information, please contact us via email.
