Is a local partner mandatory to start a business in the UAE?

Is a local partner mandatory to start a business in the UAE?

In Dubai & the rest of the UAE it is legally required to have a local partner (UAE national) for entrepreneurs and SMEs looking to invest in a Mainland company or LLC company for the first time.

The local partner should hold the majority interest (51% shares) and maintain a controlling stake in the business for all activities that come under commercial or industrial licenses. This type of business start-up with a local partner is called a local LLC.

Nevertheless, in the UAE, entrepreneurs and investors who apply for a professional services license have a simple way of getting complete ownership of the business. You only need a national service agent (NSA) who is fundamentally a local sponsor who does not have ownership but should be paid some sort of fixed-payment often as an annual fee in such cases. Registering your company in one of the free zones in the UAE is yet another option and here there is no necessity for NSA.
