Setting up a business while being under husband's sponsorship
Hi,
Can my wife who is under my sponsorship start a business of her own in Dubai?

Hi,
I trust that you are well.
Absolutely. Your spouse is legally allowed to set-up her own business under your sponsorship. Depending on the nature of her business idea, she will have to submit relevant documents.
Whether you're looking to set-up under the mainland or free zone, we can provide guidance on the quickest and most cost-effective option available to you.

Hello,
Yes, generally, your wife can start a business of her own in Dubai if she is under your sponsorship.
Your wife may need a no objection letter from you, which basically states that you do not object for her to work, and she could then proceed without having to change her residence visa.
Should you require further tailored substantive legal advice, kindly contact my firm via phone or email.
Regards,
Ludmila
