Before submitting documents, it is important to decide where to register the company — in a free zone or on the Dubai mainland. Among free zones, one of the most popular options for this type of business is Dubai Flower Centre, which specializes in the flower trade and perishable goods logistics.
 
At this stage, it is strongly recommended to consult specialists in UAE business law such as Wivo Consulting, who can help identify the most suitable jurisdiction, legal structure, and assist with preparing incorporation documents based on your goals.

After selecting the jurisdiction, the next step is choosing the appropriate business license. A flower shop typically requires a trading license that includes activities related to the wholesale and retail sale of flowers. It is important to review the specific requirements that apply to this type of business in the selected jurisdiction.

It is essential to ensure that the chosen company name complies with UAE regulations and is directly connected to the company’s activities. Before reservation, the name will be checked by the authorities for uniqueness. At the same time, obtaining initial approval is an important part of the registration process.

The next stage is selecting a suitable location for the store.It is important to choose an area with strong pedestrian traffic in order to attract more customers. In addition, you will need storage space for fresh flowers. The premises should comply with standards for storing perishable goods.
 
A properly equipped storage facility helps maintain flowers in excellent condition and extends product shelf life. Maintaining the correct temperature and humidity is essential for preserving freshness. When budgeting, be sure to consider rent, utilities, and storage equipment costs.

Once the required documents are prepared, they must be submitted together with shareholders’ passports to the Department of Economic Development or the selected free zone authority. Following approval, the business license will be issued and the company will be officially registered.

A business bank account is required for financial operations, including supplier payments and customer transactions. Many UAE banks offer dedicated business banking packages, so it is advisable to compare several options before making a decision.

Before recruiting florists or administrative staff, the company should complete registration with the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation. Once an employment contract is signed, the employer is generally responsible for arranging the employee’s work visa at its own expense.
