Types of Company Local Sponsorship

Under UAE company law, setting up a Limited Liability Company (LLC) onshore on the mainland requires at least 51% equity ownership by a UAE national. So foreign investors setting up an onshore LLC must partner with a UAE national — or an entity fully owned by one — to meet this legal requirement.

Other entities — branches of foreign companies (representative offices or full branch offices), sole establishments, and civil companies — need a local service agent to set up and operate in the UAE. A representative office is limited to sales and marketing and can't trade commercially, while a full branch office can carry out the same commercial activities as its parent company.

A service agent ensures compliance with local regulations but usually holds no equity and isn't involved in running the company. Instead, they charge a fixed annual fee for handling legal and administrative procedures and acting as your liaison with local authorities — letting foreign businesses operate in the UAE while staying fully compliant.
