SPONSORSHIP

Sponsorship for Mainland Company Formation in Dubai

When establishing a Mainland company in Dubai, securing the right sponsorship is crucial to the process. 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.

At SA Consultants, we help you navigate the complexities of Dubai Mainland company formation and ensure that you choose the right sponsorship option for your business. Here’s a breakdown of the different sponsorship types available:

At SA Consultants, we help you navigate the complexities of Dubai Mainland company formation and ensure that you choose the right sponsorship option for your business. Here’s a breakdown of the different sponsorship types available:

Local Sponsor
A UAE national acts as a silent partner, holding 51% of the shares but allowing the foreign investor full control over daily operations. This sponsor usually receives a fixed annual fee and is not involved in business management.
Corporate Sponsorship
In this scenario, a UAE-based company acts as your local sponsor. This is often preferred by larger businesses, as it adds more stability to the partnership and ensures that the arrangement is with an established entity.
Government or Institutional Sponsorship
In specific industries like oil, gas, or telecom, a government entity may act as a sponsor. This type of sponsorship often opens doors to exclusive contracts and opportunities.

Why Sponsorship is Essential for Mainland Companies

1.

Legal Compliance

Sponsorship is typically required for most Dubai Mainland business activities unless your business qualifies for 100% ownership under the new laws.

2.

Market Access

A reliable sponsor allows your business to trade freely in the UAE market, bid for government contracts, and expand within the local economy.

SA Consultants UAE offers comprehensive business setup services to help you establish and grow your business in one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing economies in the world.
