Expert guidance on determining the right legal structure for your business, ensuring full compliance with UAE commercial companies law and local regulations.
Recent landmark amendments to the UAE Commercial Companies Law have drastically changed the business landscape. Foreign investors can now fully own their businesses in a wide array of commercial and industrial sectors across the mainland without requiring a local partner.
Despite the relaxed rules, certain strategic sectors (like oil & gas, telecommunications, defense, and select trading activities) or specific Emirate-level regulations still mandate a 51% UAE National shareholder. We facilitate secure corporate or individual sponsorships to ensure your business remains compliant while your assets are legally protected through robust side agreements.
For "Professional Licenses" (such as consultancies, medical clinics, and specialized services), the expat retains 100% ownership of the company. However, UAE law requires the appointment of a UAE National as a Local Service Agent. The LSA holds no equity, has no management involvement, and solely acts as a liaison with government departments for visas and licenses for a fixed annual fee.
