About the Branch of a Foreign Company
A branch carries the parent's name and liability, needs attested parent documents and a board resolution, and suits groups that want a UAE presence without a separate entity.
Why the UAE
Banking, logistics, telecoms and digital government services in the UAE are among the most advanced in the region, which keeps the running costs of a Branch of a Foreign Company in Meydan Free Zone predictable.
