Individual sponsors are not mandated to have expertise in the particular business sector. However, he or she must have a professional background, hold a government position, or own a business of his own.
Corporate entities owned by UAE nationals that act as a local sponsor are known as corporate sponsors. They can be of any local or government-registered business that is operating within the UAE. This is preferred by larger companies for long-term partnerships. It is also common among companies that require a strong legal backing. However, a corporate sponsor will own the majority of the shares in the company.
Professional or service-based businesses appoint a Local Service Agent instead of a local sponsor. The LSA will not own any shares in the company, but will help you with legal processes.

It is mostly beneficial for foreign companies looking to enter a new market in the UAE.
