Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1. Difference between Local Partner and Expat Partner?

A Local (Emirati) Partner or Local Service Agent is required to sign up all the applications connected to governmental bodies. They do not interfere in the daily business operations unless agreed. An Expat Partner is responsible for handling the day-to-day business activities of the company.

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) allows you to freely operate anywhere in the UAE and you can trade within the country and internationally. You will need a Local (Emirati) Partner who has 51% ownership of your company.

You can open a company in Dubai Mainland with 100% ownership as some activities are eligible for sole proprietorship and professional licenses which can be owned 100% by an Expat. A Local Service Agent will be required.

Yes, you are required to have a physical address in Dubai to set up a business in Dubai. You will need to have a valid lease for an office or warehouse space to even qualify for a license. A minimum of 200 sqft of space is needed to be leased on an annual basis for forming a Mainland Company in Dubai.

While there are many benefits to having a Free Zone company, there are also some limitations. Those include:
Cannot trade directly with the consumers.
Can trade within the UAE only through locally appointed distributors
A 5% custom duty is applicable
Employees must work only from the company’s offices within that Free Zone

The time to set up a business in Dubai will depend on the type of business and on clearance from the government and if there are any external approval requirements on the business activity. On an average it takes 3-4 working days.

This depends on the legal structure. The General Manager, who has the authority to sign on behalf of the company, should certainly have one. The UAE visa holder needs to be in Dubai every six months, or the visa will be cancelled.
