Your Gateway to 100% Ownership of Professional Firms

Understanding the Role of a Local Service Agent
A Local Service Agent acts as the Emirati voice for your business, but their role is strictly administrative. They are not involved in the day-to-day operations of your business and have no ownership stake. Their primary function is to facilitate the administrative procedures required for setting up and maintaining your business license.
The Local Service Agent Agreement
We draft a legally enforceable Local Service Agent Agreement that clearly defines the scope of work, the agent’s limited powers, and the fee schedule. This agreement is a relationship of trust, ensuring the agent acts on your behalf with local authorities but has no access to company funds or operational control.
