Sponsorship for Mainland Company Formation in Dubai

Many businesses require a UAE national sponsor to hold 51% of the company shares, with the foreign investor retaining 49%. This local sponsorship arrangement is a legal necessity for most Dubai Mainland business activities. However, recent reforms now allow 100% foreign ownership in certain sectors, making sponsorship optional in specific cases.
