The Sole Proprietorship Operating Agreement is a fundamental document for individuals establishing a business as a sole proprietor in the United Arab Emirates. This document is essential when setting up a business owned and operated by a single individual, whether a UAE national or expatriate (with appropriate local sponsorship). The agreement encompasses crucial aspects such as business licensing, operational procedures, financial management, and regulatory compliance requirements under UAE federal laws and emirate-specific regulations. It serves as the primary reference document for business operations, banking relationships, and regulatory compliance, particularly important given the UAE's distinct legal framework for sole proprietorships. The document should be prepared in accordance with Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021 and relevant Department of Economic Development guidelines.
