Start a UAE Business with a Nominee Director – Full Guide
Looking to set up a business in the UAE while keeping your identity private? Using a nominee director is an innovative and legally sound solution that ensures privacy and a seamless setup. A nominee director is listed on company records, while you—the Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO)—retain complete control through legal agreements, such as a power of attorney (POA).
This structure is ideal for international investors, entrepreneurs in sensitive sectors (such as crypto or finance), and those requiring local residency support for banking or licensing purposes. Nominee services operate across various UAE jurisdictions, including the Mainland (DED), Free Zones (e.g., DMCC, IFZA, RAKEZ), and Offshore (RAK ICC, JAFZA). Banks in the UAE also prefer nominee structures, as they help meet residency and compliance requirements.
To protect your privacy, all setups include a signed nominee agreement, POA, and board resolutions—ensuring transparency and compliance. With RAS Corporate Advisors, the process is seamless, from license issuance to setting up a visa and bank account.
