Is it better to set up a company to Import goods or shall I use a commercial agent?

If you are looking to sell products in the UAE, it is possible to use a Commercial Agent which allows you to use their licence to sell goods. Using an Agent can avoid the set-up procedure of a licence, however there is a drawback that once you have a contract with the Agent they will have control over your product and it may be difficult to withdraw from the agreement. Therefore, to avoid any possible disputes and have full control you may want to consider setting up mainland company allowing you to have full control of the products you wish to sell to UAE. If however you do not wish to set up an entity , PRO Partner Group can offer a Nominee Commercial Agent to allow the foreign party to protect their product in the UAE Full effective ownership, control and termination is given to the foreign party whilst allowing them to make multiple partnerships with Distribution Partners to sell products.
