Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) Services in the UAE

Your Trusted Partner in UBO Compliance

Introduction

An Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) refers to the individual who ultimately benefits from ownership of an asset, even if it is legally registered under another name. UBO identification is crucial for ensuring transparency, regulatory compliance, and preventing financial crimes such as money laundering. At Spectrum Auditing, we assist businesses in identifying, assessing, and complying with UBO regulations to ensure adherence to UAE laws.

Understanding UBO Regulations in the UAE

  • Who is a UBO? A UBO is a natural person who directly or indirectly controls at least 25% of a company’s shares, voting rights, or has effective control over business operations.
  • When is a Senior Manager Considered a UBO? If no real beneficial owner is identified, the senior management personnel responsible for overseeing the company’s operations will be considered the UBO.
  • UBO Compliance Requirements for UAE Companies All UAE businesses (including Free Zone companies) must maintain:
    • A Register of Real Beneficial Owners (UBO Register)
    • A Register of Partners or Shareholders with details of management members.
  • Deadline for UBO Registration Companies must submit their UBO registers to the relevant licensing authority within 60 days from the publication of the Regulation or from the date of licensing.
  • Exemptions from UBO Regulations The UBO law does not apply to entities wholly owned by the UAE federal or local government.
