Setting up a business in your own country or in a foreign country as well as recruiting and hiring local and oversea workers would require approvals from the government. Each country has their own laws and requirements that they demand in order to secure and legalize businesses being established within and outside the boundaries. As for UAE, the Department of Economic Development  (DED) is the main government body that is responsible in licensing and classifying economic activities that is permitted within Dubai. Issuance of trade permits for marketing activities and setting business work hours are also part of their accountabilities.
