An Extension of
Global Excellence.
Achieve a strategic foothold in the UAE market while maintaining 100% authority of your global corporation. A branch office is the perfect choice for mirror-image expansion without the complexity of separate legal status.
Available Branch Types
Corporate Stakeholder
An entity where the parent corporation (UAE or Foreign) holds a partial stake (e.g., 50%) alongside other individual or corporate owners.
Branch Company
The most typical setup where the parent organization remains the sole proprietor. No share capital is required as it utilizes the parent's articles.
Representative Office
A highly affordable option limited to sourcing and promoting jobs for the parent. Not permitted to earn local profits directly.
Subsidiary
A separate legal unit from the parent, taking full responsibility for its functions and managed entirely from within the UAE.
Professional Liason
Unlike independent divisions, branch offices are extensions that utilize the incorporation articles of the parent. Setting up requires mirrored alignment between your domestic successes and the UAE's regulatory framework.
