Professional nominee director services for clients requiring local board representation, privacy arrangements, or regulatory compliance.
Nominee director arrangements serve legitimate and important functions in international corporate structuring. They may be required where a jurisdiction mandates local board representation, where beneficial owners prefer to maintain privacy within the bounds of regulatory compliance, or where operational requirements necessitate a locally present individual with signing authority.
As a licensed TCSP, Polaris is authorised to provide nominee director services — a distinction that is critical. Unlicensed individuals or entities offering nominee directorship may expose clients to regulatory risk, as the provision of these services without appropriate licensing is prohibited under UAE law.
Our nominee directors operate under clear engagement terms that define the scope of authority, signing protocols, liability boundaries, and reporting obligations. All arrangements are fully disclosed to relevant regulatory authorities through Ultimate Beneficial Owner registrations.
Yes, when provided by a licensed Trust and Corporate Service Provider. The UAE Anti-Money Laundering framework requires that nominee arrangements are properly documented and disclosed through UBO registrations. Polaris provides these services under its TCSP licence with full regulatory compliance.
No. The scope of the nominee director's authority is precisely defined in the engagement documentation. Strategic and financial decisions remain with the beneficial owner. The nominee acts within agreed parameters for administrative and regulatory purposes.
Whether you are establishing a new venture, restructuring an existing enterprise, or exploring residency pathways — we are here to advise.
