Company Formation Power of Attorney

Authorise someone to set up your UAE company when you cannot attend every step.

Start a company without flying in for each signature

Setting up a company involves licence applications, signed forms, and a bank account. A Power of Attorney can let a trusted person or corporate service provider handle the steps for you.

The authority is for setting up, not running. We write the powers around the formation steps and set them to end once the company is ready.

What you will need to start

  • Passport and ID of each founder
  • Proposed company name and activities
  • Details of the person acting for you
  • Board resolutions or corporate documents if the founder is a company

What the document can cover

The powers are set to the task you actually need done. Anything not listed is not given.

  • Applying for the trade licence
  • Signing the memorandum or articles, where allowed
  • Opening a bank account
  • Registering with relevant authorities
  • Collecting licence and documents

How the process works

  1. Confirm the formation route. We note the company type, the activities and who will act for you.
  2. Define the setup powers. We list the steps the representative may take, such as the licence application, signing documents and opening a bank account.
  3. Draft and review. We write the authority to end once the company is ready, and send it to you for approval.
  4. Notarise. Each founder signs before a notary public. If a founder is a company, we prepare the supporting board resolution.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If signed abroad, we arrange translation and attestation, then give the original to your representative.

What to check before you sign

  • The powers match the formation route
  • The document ends when the setup is complete
  • Corporate founders have board approval
  • Banks accept the representative
