‘Home’ licenses to curb practice of renting license to expats for monthly income

Sunday, June 4, 2017

Ministry of Commerce started issuing ‘home’ licenses as a way to address the practice of renting a commercial license to an expatriate who operates the shop in exchange for a certain amount.

According to Al-Rai daily report, ‘home’ licenses will give opportunities to citizens who want to do business or earn money without the need to rent a shop or hire workers.Daily added that granting ‘home’ licenses to citizens who own very small enterprises — usually home-based — could limit the practice of renting a shop and obtaining a commercial license offered to an expatriate who operates the shop in exchange for a certain amount, which gives monthly income to the original licensee although he does not exert any effort.
