The Department of Economic Development (DED) announced that supervisors from the business registration division would be available all day on the ground floor of the Department, to offer instant support to DED’s customers. The supervisors can be contacted at any time during the day for all queries regarding applications for trade licenses, business registration procedures and commercial permits.
“The Department is constantly on the lookout to facilitate investors and ensure that they do not encounter any difficulty in obtaining a trade license or competing other business registration procedures,” said Noura Mohammed Juma’a, Director Business Registration Division, DED. “This move enables us to offer instant support to our clients while they can now avoid making several visits to the DED offices to process their licenses,” she added.
The DED customers can contact the business registration supervisors without an appointment to get accurate first hand assistance.
