Local sponsorship is a crucial element for foreign investors looking to establish a business in the UAE mainland. Under UAE law, certain types of companies require a local Emirati sponsor to comply with regulatory requirements and gain full access to the local market. A reliable sponsor not only ensures legal compliance but also facilitates smoother interactions with government departments, streamlining the licensing, visa, and renewal processes. Moreover, local sponsorship builds trust with authorities and customers, enhancing your credibility in the UAE business environment.
100% Operational Control
While the sponsor holds a legal share (often 51%), many services offer legal agreements (side contracts) that ensure the foreign investor retains full operational and financial control.
Nominee Sponsorship (Silent Partner)
Professional firms offer nominee sponsorship arrangements where the local sponsor is a silent partner with no interference in day-to-day business.
Transparent Legal Agreements
All terms, ownership rights, profit sharing, and exit clauses are documented clearly to protect both parties.
Annual Fixed Fee Model
Instead of profit sharing, sponsors often charge a fixed annual sponsorship fee, making your cost structure predictable.
Government Liaison Support
Good sponsors assist in dealing with local authorities, helping with visas, labor contracts, and license renewals.
Reputable, Vetted Emirati Partners
Professional firms connect you with sponsors who are well-established, legally sound, and trusted in the business community.
Flexible Structures for Different Business Types
Whether you’re forming an LLC, branch office, or joint venture, sponsorship services can tailor agreements based on your needs.
