Nominee Services for clearly defined corporate arrangements.
AR Associates supports nominee arrangements in the UAE by reviewing the intended role, ownership context, corporate structure and documentation before the arrangement is put in place.
The nominee role should be clear before it is formalised.
The arrangement should identify the role being performed, the authority attached to it, the documents that support it and the compliance context surrounding the company.
Define the nominee function.
The arrangement should state what role is being performed and how that role fits within the wider company structure.
Clarify powers and limitations.
Authority should be understood in practical terms — what the nominee may do, what requires instruction and where limitations apply.
Record the arrangement properly.
The corporate documents supporting the arrangement should reflect the intended role and remain aligned with the company’s legal position.
Keep the structure aligned.
The arrangement should be considered together with the applicable company, ownership and regulatory requirements relevant to the structure.
A nominee arrangement should create clarity around the role — not ambiguity around ownership or responsibility.
Clarify the company position before the arrangement begins.
A useful nominee discussion starts with the current company structure, the intended role and the documents already in place.
