SILENT PARTNER
A larger portion of Dubai Limited Liability Companies use the local
UAE sponsor as a "silent partner." In this arrangement, the local UAE
sponsor is usually paid an annual "sponsorship fee" in return for
giving up management control of the company to the foreign investor.
But as a formality, we should allocate 51% share of the company
to UAE National. If you want you can make a Side Agreement to protect
your investment stating that the whole investment including sponsor's
share belongs to you. This agreement cannot be attested by Notary. But
you can get signed by the sponsor as a confirmation.
LICENSE RENEWAL: Tourism license is valid for one year.
After expiry, 30 days grace period is there. If not
renewed within grace period, Dh200 fine per month will be
charged at DTCM. At the time of renewal, apart from the above fees,

of staff. Managers and Degree/PG level profession holders should
pay Dh500 per head and for low level staff Dh300 per
head. This amount should be paid every year. Partner:
Dh1000, Supervisor:
Dh500,
