Your Back Office in Dubai: EGSH Handles Licensing, Amer, and Everything in Between - Coming Soon in UAE

Let’s face it — Dubai is one of the easiest places in the world to start a business. But running one? That’s where the real work begins.

That’s why smart entrepreneurs across the UAE are turning to a new kind of support system — not just consultants, but back-office partners who keep your business compliant, clean, and running like a machine. At the heart of that shift is EGSH: Emirates Government Services Hub.

From managing your business license in Dubai to handling Dubai Municipality approval, visa processing, PRO services, medicals, and banking — EGSH is not just another “typing center.” They are your actual back office.

 

What Does a Back Office in Dubai Really Do?

Let’s define what we mean by “back office” in this context. We’re not talking about your admin assistant or a dusty storeroom. In Dubai, your “back office” includes:

Service Category Tasks Covered
Licensing Trade license setup, renewal, activity changes, name changes
Government Relations (PRO) Visa applications, Emirates ID, labor card, immigration processing
Municipality & Compliance Tenancy approval, food safety, signage permits, health & safety
Banking Support Account opening, KYC documents, bank letters
Amer & Tasheel Entry permit, visa change, visa stamping, cancellation
Business Correspondence Attestations, translations, legal typing, POA setup

It’s not glamorous work — but if it’s not done right, your whole business can grind to a halt.

EGSH: More Than Just Paper Pushers

So who exactly is EGSH, and why are so many business owners outsourcing their entire operational backend to them?

EGSH stands for Emirates Government Services Hub — a specialized partner that works with both mainland and free zone businesses to streamline the not-so-fun parts of running a company. But what makes them different is how they integrate:

  • Inside track at key government entities (DED, Dubai Municipality, Immigration, Labor);
  • Seamless coordination with Amer Centers, Tawjeeh, Dubai Municipality, and other official bodies;
  • In-house experts who understand UAE laws, not just how to fill out a form;
  • Clear communication and no last-minute surprises.

Most importantly, they offer continuity. Not just one-off help — but ongoing business support that grows with you.

 

The Big Three: Licensing, Amer, and Municipality

Let’s break down the three biggest “pain points” for small and medium businesses in Dubai — and how EGSH handles them.

1. Business License in Dubai

Every company in the UAE needs a valid trade license. Whether you’re selling coffee or coding apps, the license is your legal identity.

EGSH helps with:

  • New license registration (DED, Free Zone, DMCC, etc.);
  • License amendments (activity change, shareholders, name);
  • Renewal (on time, with full documentation);
  • VAT registration and deregistration;
  • UAE national sponsorship if needed.

Pro tip: Many clients sign up for a License + Visa + Bank Account bundle, so they can get everything done in a week.

2. Dubai Municipality Approval

You might think the Municipality only matters for restaurants or salons. Not true. Almost every business activity requires some kind of compliance from the Dubai Municipality — from tenancy contract approvals to signage permits.

Common approvals handled by EGSH:

  • Shop and Office Inspections;
  • Trade Name Clearance;
  • Food Safety Approval (for F&B);
  • Interior Fit-Out Permits;
  • Professional Service NOCs.

Don’t underestimate this stage. Many businesses get delayed here due to missing paperwork or a misunderstanding of requirements. EGSH gets it right the first time.

 

3. Amer Services

Every business owner in the UAE eventually deals with Amer, the official platform for all immigration services.

Here’s where EGSH makes life easier:

Amer Process EGSH Role
Entry permit application Document typing & submission
Visa change status Amer scheduling & tracking
Emirates ID & medical fitness Full coordination & fast-track
Visa stamping Government fee handling
Family sponsorship End-to-end paperwork

EGSH coordinates with your nearest Amer center (or handles it for you) and ensures nothing gets stuck in translation — literally or legally.

Real Client Case: Salma’s Startup Success

Salma, a fintech founder from Egypt, had just launched her app and needed:

  • A mainland license;
  • Dubai Municipality clearance for signage;
  • Two employee visas;
  • Medical tests and Emirates ID;
  • A business bank account.

She hired EGSH to act as her back office – and in just 9 working days, everything was done. She didn’t have to visit DED or Amer once. Now she uses EGSH for monthly PRO tasks and business correspondence.

 

How Much Does It Cost?

EGSH doesn’t use the “AED 499* only” bait pricing model. Their fees are transparent, competitive, and based on real work.

Service Approx. Fee (AED)
Trade License Renewal 7,000 – 12,000
Municipality Inspection & NOC 1,500 – 2,500
Visa Processing (each) 3,000 – 4,500
PRO Subscription (monthly) From 1,200
Amer + Medical + ID Bundle From 1,800

📌 Tip: Many businesses opt for the EGSH PRO subscription, which includes unlimited government errands, document pickup, and renewals.

Why This Model Works

Entrepreneurs want to focus on:

  • Building their product;
  • Selling and scaling;
  • Hiring talent.

They don’t want to:

  • Wait in line at Amer;
  • Chase down attestations;
  • Google “how to renew municipality approval” at 2 AM.
 

By outsourcing the back office to EGSH, you save:

  • Time (no back-and-forth with authorities);
  • Money (avoiding fines and missed renewals);
  • Sanity (you don’t have to become a UAE regulation expert).

Final Thoughts: Back Office is the New Frontline

Your brand might be your face, but your back office is the engine. And in Dubai, that engine needs to run fast, clean, and in full legal compliance. One missed deadline, one wrong form — and things get messy.

With EGSH, you’re not hiring an agent. You’re gaining a team that keeps you running — quietly, efficiently, and professionally — while you focus on what matters most: growing your business.

Ready to delegate your admin chaos?

  • Got a trade license due for renewal?
  • Need a Municipality NOC?
  • Want someone else to wait at Amer for you?

Let EGSH be your back office in Dubai — and never worry about red tape again.
