Corporate Sponsorship UAE

Dubai commercial companies law states that a non-GCC citizen cannot set up a business in mainland UAE without a local sponsor (a UAE national). The two types of economic zones in the UAE are Freezone and Mainland. If you are looking to start a business, there is definitely an advantage of setting up a business in the mainland zone. You can freely operate your business activities anywhere in the UAE without any restrictions. However, according to the law, partnership with a local partner is essential to start this business where your activity falls under commercial or industrial licenses.

Corporate sponsorship is similar to individual sponsorship, but it solves the problems that sometimes business owners face dealing with local partners.

Setting up an LLC company can be very beneficial in the UAE. There is a wide range of business activities to choose from the list issued by the DED. Investor visa option for the business owners and an eligibility to sponsor the family is another advantage. But the formation of an LLC in UAE requires the presence of a local partner, and that's where a corporate sponsor comes in. The sponsor does not participate in the management or operations of your company. The operational and financial control lies with the foreign investor opening the company.
