One of the questions we get frequently asked by new business ventures is whether they require a local UAE partner/nominee. The answer depends on factors involved such as business activity, jurisdiction and nationality.
With the recent introduction of 100% foreign ownership for many business activities, some businesses may choose to incorporate using this option. However, in some cases, legal experts in the UAE will recommend a business to choose a 100% national owned company to act as a shareholder or corporate nominee partner. By law, there are still a number of key strategic activities such as banking, security, investment and insurance that require UAE local participation and 100% foreign ownership is not allowed.
Synergy manages and operates 100% national owned companies that act as a corporate nominee partner for foreign companies. This provides full protection for the foreign company’s assets whilst protecting the local partner from undue risk. Through our Professional Local Partners, Synergy offers clients a secure and trusted nominee structure that safeguards their interests and is fully compliant with the law.
