Setting Up a Business in the UAE During Ramadan: Is It a Good Idea?
Ramadan is a time of reflection, planning, and new beginnings. For many entrepreneurs, it’s also the perfect opportunity to start a new business venture.
If you’re considering launching your company during Ramadan, working with Makateb Business Centers ensures the process remains smooth, organized, and stress-free—despite adjusted working hours.
🌙 Is It Possible to Set Up a Business During Ramadan?
Yes. UAE Free Zones and government departments continue operating during Ramadan, although with shorter working hours.
With proper guidance and preparation, your trade license can still be issued efficiently—especially when handled by experienced consultants.
🚀 Why Ramadan Can Be a Smart Time to Start
