Partnership Agreement UAE

A partnership agreement is the foundation of any successful business collaboration. In the UAE, entering into a formal partnership requires a clearly defined agreement that outlines the rights, responsibilities, and profit-sharing structure between partners. Whether you’re starting a business with local sponsors or entering into a professional collaboration, a legally binding partnership agreement protects all involved parties.

The UAE government strongly encourages businesses to register and formalize their partnerships, especially when operating in the mainland or free zone jurisdictions.

UAE Partnership Agreement Guidelines (Updated Rules)

A written partnership agreement is mandatory for registering companies with multiple owners or shareholders.
The agreement must define each partner’s share, duties, decision-making rights, and dispute resolution methods.
For mainland companies, UAE nationals must own 51% unless operating under 100% foreign ownership laws.
Free zones allow for full foreign ownership but still require formal partnership agreements between individuals or entities.
The agreement must be signed in front of a Notary Public or private notary and attested by relevant authorities.
Legal translation into Arabic is required if the document is in English or any other language.

How to Register a Partnership Agreement in the UAE?

Consult a Legal Expert: Work with a legal firm to draft a clear and customized agreement.
Define Roles and Responsibilities: Outline each partner’s capital contribution, authority, and profit-sharing ratio.
Translate the Agreement (if needed): Ensure the document is legally translated into Arabic.
Notarization & Attestation: Sign the agreement before a notary and complete government-level attestations.
Submit to Licensing Authority: Use the agreement to apply for a business license with the relevant UAE department (e.g., DED, free zone authority).
