One regulatory brain behind every listing

1

One dataset, not weeks of PRO legwork

Every activity in the catalog is pre-mapped to its license type, its approving authorities and its requirements, so you screen viability in seconds instead of walking a PRO between counters for weeks.

2

Per-emirate rules, unified

Civil Defense, municipality, MOCCAE and free zone conditions differ by emirate and by zone. The navigator resolves them into one consolidated view for each activity across the GCC.

3

Checked against official sources

Requirements are modeled on ISIC classification, the UAE Fire and Life Safety Code, Trakheesi activity validation and open land-department data, and are flagged where verification is still pending.

Honesty note. The demo shows a working sample of the full regulatory dataset, 26 of 109 activities across 12 of 25 activity categories. Licensing requirements are illustrative and modeled on official sources.
