Whether you’re starting a business or modifying your existing license, approvals from the Dubai Economic Department (DED) are often a legal necessity. Activities such as trade name registration, license amendments, or adding new business activities fall under DED authority.

Ejari & Tenancy Contract Registration
Registering your commercial or residential lease through the Ejari system is a legal requirement in Dubai and a prerequisite for many official processes. It validates your tenancy agreement and provides proof of address for visa, utility, or licensing purposes.
Melden handles the entire Ejari registration process, from contract review and preparation to submission on the official platform. We ensure your tenancy documents meet all government standards and provide ongoing support for renewals, cancellations, and updates, keeping your operations fully aligned with local laws.
