Nominee Services

For certain types of business activities, the participation of local representatives or confirmation of presence in the UAE may be required.

Nominee services may include:

• appointment of a nominee director or shareholder;
• support during licensing procedures;
• compliance with regulatory requirements during company incorporation;
• assistance with opening corporate bank accounts.

Result — the company meets formal requirements, while full control of the business remains with the beneficial owner.

For some companies, it is important to demonstrate actual management and control of the business from the UAE.

Nominee specialists help to:

• confirm the presence of local management participation;
• structure management in accordance with Economic Substance requirements;
• ensure proper corporate documentation of decisions.

This is particularly relevant for international groups of companies and holding structures.

Nominee services help to:

• maintain confidentiality of ownership information;
• separate ownership and management functions;
• minimize reputational and commercial risks;
• structure international assets.

All relationships are formalized through agreements with clearly defined powers and responsibilities.
