Sponsorship structures

Understand which arrangement may fit your setup.

The right arrangement depends on the business activity, legal form and relevant authority. We help you understand the available routes and coordinate the applicable requirements.

Individual local sponsor

Where a qualifying structure requires a UAE national partner or sponsor, understand the role, responsibilities and documented terms before proceeding.

When applicable to the activity

Corporate sponsorship

Some setups may use an eligible UAE-owned company as a partner or sponsor. We can help assess the structure and coordinate the required company records.

Structure and authority dependent

Local service agent

For certain professional or other permitted arrangements, a local service agent may be relevant without holding ownership. We’ll clarify the applicable scope.

Not the same as an equity partner
iOwnership rules are activity-specific

Many UAE mainland activities can be established with 100% foreign ownership, while certain activities, legal forms or regulated sectors can have additional participation or approval requirements. We check the current route for your case; requirements and final decisions rest with the relevant authority.
