Trade Name Reservation in the UAE
The trade name is the first approval in any UAE setup and a frequent cause of delay. Stravision checks availability across the relevant registries, screens your shortlist against naming rules covering religious and political terms, country names, abbreviations and restricted words, then reserves the approved name with the authority. Where the name is also a brand you intend to defend, we align the reservation with your trademark filing so the two do not diverge.
Approved First Time, Without the Rejections
The first approval, and a common first delay
Rejected on rules
A name that breaks a naming rule, sending the whole application back to square one.
Cleared and reserved
Availability checked, screened against the rules, and reserved with the authority.
A compliant name clears quickly; a non-compliant one stalls the whole application.
What gets a trade name refused
Restricted words
Religious, political or government-adjacent terms are refused.
Country and place names
Using them without the required permissions.
Already taken
A name too close to an existing registration.
Not aligned to the brand
A reserved name that diverges from the trademark you plan to file.
The Name Decides How Smoothly Setup Begins
Registry Checking
Conflicts are identified before fees are committed.
Restricted Terms
Religious, political and country terms are screened out.
Legal Form Suffix
The correct entity suffix is applied to the name.
Translation Care
Arabic rendering is checked for meaning and acceptability.
Activity Consistency
The name matches the licensed activity being applied for.
Reservation Timing
Reservation is timed so validity covers the full setup.
Alternative Planning
Backup names are pre cleared to protect the timeline.
Trademark Linkage
Reservation and trademark filing are kept aligned.
Renewal Awareness
Expiry is tracked so a reservation never lapses mid setup.
Cost, and how it works
A small, fixed step
Reservation is inexpensive and fast when the name is compliant, which is the whole point of checking first.
How we price this
A fixed fee for search and reservation, with the authority charge at cost. Trademark alignment is quoted with the IP filing.
Your information stays confidential
Application details stay in a controlled space, accessed only by your team.
