A DMCC Service License is the right licence for consultancies and professional firms — management consulting, IT, marketing, advisory and similar knowledge-based services — operating with 100% foreign ownership from a prestigious JLT address.
Who needs a DMCC Service Licence?
If you sell expertise rather than physical goods, you need a service (professional) licence. Common activities include management consultancy, IT services and software, marketing and advertising, HR consultancy, engineering consultancy, and business advisory. Multiple compatible service activities can sit on one licence.

Can I add multiple service activities?
Yes, several compatible service activities can be combined on one licence. We confirm which activities can sit together during setup.
Do I need an office for a service licence?
A flexi desk satisfies the licence and supports up to three visas. Larger teams take a serviced or physical office for higher visa quotas.
