The Reseller Authorization Letter is a crucial document in the UAE business environment, particularly for companies looking to expand their distribution networks without entering into a formal agency agreement. This document is commonly used when a manufacturer or brand owner (principal) wishes to authorize another entity to resell their products or services while maintaining a simpler relationship than a full distributorship agreement. The letter typically specifies the scope of authorization, territorial limits, and basic terms of the relationship. Under UAE law, particularly considering the Commercial Agency Law (Federal Law No. 18 of 1981) and Commercial Activities Law (Federal Law No. 8 of 2004), this document helps establish a clear but non-registered commercial relationship, distinguishing it from registered commercial agency arrangements. It's especially important for businesses requiring proof of authorization for local licensing authorities, customs clearance, or participation in tenders.
