RISK SCENARIO

How one missed deadline becomes a AED 20,000 problem

A composite scenario based on real UAE business failures. Names changed; numbers and processes are accurate.

THE CASCADE

Three weeks. Two missed deadlines. One very expensive quarter.

  1. WEEK 1

    Establishment Card lapses

    Reminder email goes to a shared inbox nobody checks. Card expires Friday afternoon. Nobody notices until Monday.

  2. WEEK 2

    Visa renewal blocked

    New employee visa application blocked by MOHRE because the Establishment Card is invalid. Onboarding stalls.

  3. WEEK 3

    Trade license renewal blocked

    DED rejects renewal because Establishment Card must be valid first. Bank flags account for restriction.

  4. WEEK 4

    AED 20K bill arrives

    AED 10K MOHRE fine + AED 5K cumulative DED late fees + AED 5K visa rush processing. All from one missed alert.
