FULL-SERVICE EXECUTION
Local Corporate Sponsorship and Service Agents
While recent commercial reforms permit 100% foreign ownership across most UAE mainland activities, select strategic and regulated sectors still mandate a local corporate nominee or local service agent (LSA). Partnering with an individual local sponsor carries inherent personal risk, whereas institutional corporate sponsorship provides complete legal security.
Trilliant Business Services acts as your corporate nominee and service agent. We structure comprehensive power of attorney agreements, side contracts, and legal frameworks that guarantee 100% operational, financial, and management authority remains with you.
