Business Setup in UAE

What is the right arrangement when setting up a business in UAE – local partner or “a sponsor”? The answer depends on a multitude of factors such as your nationality, your business activity, the type of ‎company formed (or legal structure), and the jurisdiction (in mainland or free-zone). ‎

Local sponsorship is a compulsory requirement for you as a foreign person, investor or ‎entrepreneur, to set up your business in the UAE mainland when your business activity ‎falls under commercial or industrial licenses.‎ It can be a challenge for foreign investors to find ‎the right local sponsor in Dubai, and appropriate for your line of business, while also protecting your business interests.
