How to Obtain a Lifestyle Coaching License in Dubai?

The activity of lifestyle coaching, also known as “Lifestyle Coaching,” can be practiced in mainland Dubai or in Free Zones. The choice of jurisdiction depends on the needs of your future business.

However, regardless of the jurisdiction you choose, note that companies engaged in lifestyle coaching are not permitted to conduct the following activities:

  • Sports
  • Fitness training
  • Dietary and nutritional counseling
  • Any alternative or non-medical therapies or treatments

These activities are governed by other authorities and require different approvals.

  1. Initial Approval

Since 2020, the activity of Lifestyle Coaching in Dubai requires initial approval from the Department of Economic Development (DED). A physical office space is also mandatory, with a minimum area of 20m2 to obtain the license.

  1. Trade Name Registration

A crucial step is registering the trade name with the DED. This process is done online, and our team can handle it for you.

  1. Signing the Commercial Lease (EJARI)

Once your trade name has been reserved and the necessary approvals obtained, we will assist you in signing the commercial lease, also known as EJARI.

  1. Approval from the General Authority of Sport

Simply submit the initial application and the trade name along with passport copies, and we will obtain approval.

  1. Company Registration

Once all the above steps are completed, one of the most important steps is registering your company with the registry. For this step, our team will assist you if you are physically present in the UAE. Alternatively, remote signature is also possible.

Once the articles are signed, the commercial license is issued within 24 hours.

  1. Congratulations, your license is issued!
