Here are answers to the most commonly asked questions about Local Partner POA.
A Local Partner POA is a legal document that authorizes the foreign shareholder or an appointed representative to act on behalf of the Emirati local sponsor (51% partner) in a mainland company, allowing them to manage business operations and make decisions without the local partner’s constant involvement.
It allows the UAE national partner to delegate operational control to the foreign investor while still holding 51% ownership, as required by law. This helps the investor manage the business independently, without affecting legal shareholding rights.
Yes, if it is properly drafted, notarized by the UAE Notary Public, and compliant with UAE laws. However, the POA does not override shareholding rights, it only governs operational authority.
Yes. It can clearly state that the local sponsor delegates all decision-making powers to the foreign partner, except for matters where legal signature or shareholder consent is required (e.g., share transfers).
It is common practice, but it must be backed by a well-drafted side agreement or nominee agreement that protects the foreign investor’s financial and operational interests. Legal advice is strongly recommended.
Yes. The local partner can revoke the POA at any time unless there’s a binding agreement preventing unilateral revocation. This is why supporting legal agreements are crucial.
