Trade License Tenancy
Commercial Ejari for offices, retail, and warehouses.
Commercial Ejari (for trade license tenant addresses) follows different rules than residential. Office, retail, warehouse, and clinic tenancies need additional documents – trade license linking, fit-out NOC, ESMA compliance for some categories. We handle the lot.
