Logos, identities, packaging, digital design: design work is licensed in the UAE under a surprisingly wide set of official activity names, and each zone writes its own. Verified Setups works from the official records, so you can see the real activities behind a design business, which free zones license them, and your own itemised price before anything is committed.

The licence behind it.

These are the official licensed activities our engine maps to graphic design & branding: the exact names the authorities use, and every zone writes its own list in its own words. Our engine recognises them as one business, so your setup is built on the real activity behind it, not a guess. Where a zone’s own record notes an authority approval for an activity, it’s shown beside that zone: the licence is priced now, and an approval’s fee is scoped with you when it applies.
