Navigating the UAE business landscape requires a clear understanding of the roles of a Local Service Agent (LSA) and a sponsor, both of which are essential for specific license types and company structures.
A local sponsor is a UAE national or company who partners with mainland businesses, often required for ownership or licensing purposes.
Individual sponsorship involves a natural person as the sponsor; corporate sponsorship involves a UAE-based company acting as the sponsor.
Ownership depends on the agreement. In many cases, sponsors hold 51% for mainland companies, but service agent agreements may not require equity transfer
Yes, but they must comply with UAE laws and proper agreements should be in place.
