Hello, so my hobby is usually writing my thoughts or small stories or small book, etc. I recently knew that selling eBooks might be a good business since it’s my hobby. I’m in UAE and wanted to ask: is selling eBooks here need license or no? and if yes how and where can I make this license. Please consider replying to this if you’re selling eBooks from UAE to help. Thank you.

We’re not able to give specific advice on what licencing you would need in a given region, but I would like to share some info here that I think would be useful.
I had a look for any official resources on business licencing in UAE and was able to find this government site which might be informative for you.
