Looking to expand your business in UAE? We are here to get you there. We provide most cost-effective, practical and tailor-made advice and full assistance in expanding businesses by way of registering a branch or representative office in the UAE. We have assisted many prominent foreign as well as local companies in establishing their branches or representative offices in the UAE.

Both foreign and local companies can establish their branches and representative offices in the UAE. The UAE laws require separate registration and license for establishing a branch or a representative office. Even though both a branch and a representative office are considered as part of their parent company, there are some major differences between them.

For example, a branch can conduct a much broader range of activity than rep office. Branches can buy and sell goods, sign contracts, build things, render services, and generally, everything that the parent company can do. However, a representative office, on the other hand, can only represent its parent company and cannot sell goods or provide services on its own behalf. The representative offices are normally established for promoting parent company’s business activities.
