✦ Local sponsorship

A sponsor you can
actually rely on.

Where your structure still calls for a local partner or service agent, we identify the right sponsor, negotiate the agreement and maintain it year after year.

✦ What we do

Protected terms, properly documented.

We assist with local sponsorship — a critical aspect of setting up and operating certain businesses in the UAE — from identifying suitable sponsors to negotiating the agreement terms.

Many activities now allow full foreign ownership, so our first job is to tell you honestly whether you need a sponsor at all. Where you do, every term is documented and protected.

  • Legal compliance with current ownership rules
  • Suitable sponsors identified and vetted
  • Negotiation of agreement terms handled for you
  • Ongoing maintenance and annual renewals
