General Manager Power of Attorney

Authorise a general manager to act for your company, with the limits the owners set.

Give a manager authority without losing control

Many UAE companies are run day to day by a manager while the owners are elsewhere. A Power of Attorney gives that manager legal authority with banks, licensing bodies and government offices.

The question is how much. We help owners list the powers the manager needs and set limits, such as spending caps, so control stays where the owners want it.

What you will need to start

  • Trade licence and company documents
  • Passport and Emirates ID of the owner
  • Details of the manager
  • The powers and spending limits you want
Reviewed wordingNotary and attestation handledSign here or abroad

What the document can cover

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

  • Dealing with government and licensing offices
  • Opening and operating bank accounts, within limits
  • Signing contracts of an agreed type
  • Hiring staff and handling visas
  • Representing the company before authorities

How the process works

  1. Review the company documents. We check the trade licence and who is authorised to sign for the company.
  2. Define the powers and limits. We list what the manager may do and set limits such as spending caps.
  3. Draft and review. We prepare the document and send it to the owners for approval.
  4. Notarise. The authorised signatory signs before a notary public with the supporting documents.
  5. Translate, attest and deliver. If the owner signs abroad, we arrange translation and attestation, then give you the finished original for the manager.

What to check before you sign

  • Limits on spending and signing
  • Banks accept the wording for their purposes
  • The licence activity matches the powers
  • How the authority ends if the manager leaves
