Frequently Asked Questions

What is a UBO register?

UAE companies must maintain a register of their ultimate beneficial owners — individuals owning or controlling 25% or more — and file it with their registrar, updating it within 15 days of changes.

Do free zone companies have different obligations?

Yes. Each free zone has its own audit, renewal and reporting rules on top of federal FTA obligations. We track both.
