Intilaq Program

 

Sometimes, a great idea doesn’t need much to turn into a successful business. A desk, telephone, computer and your skills and creativity may be all you need to create a profitable, market-leading company.

 

Intilaq Programme

 

"Intilaq" is a one-of-a-kind programme launched in the UAE to assist Emiratis residing in Dubai to take their first step into the world of entrepreneurship. The programme aims to provide aspiring business owners with company start-up support through all its phases.

 

To achieve this, The Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for SME Development is dedicated to incubating & providing the necessary support during the initial phase for a period of three years. The support offered to Entrepreneurs manifest in the form of licensing, training courses as well as financial, legal, marketing, technical support, and consultancy. This will enable participants in the Intelaq program to become independent project leaders, and capable of achieving development growth.

 

Licensing

 

The Intilaq license costs just AED 1,060. You may only have one trade or professional Intilaq license, but you can operate more than one activity under the license, so long as it is related to the core nature of your company. If your business requires the approval of other government departments, you will have to pay the relevant fees.

 

An Intelaq license does not allow you to hire staff. However, you are free to purchase the services of contractors if necessary, regardless of their location.
