Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

2. What is the difference between corporate and individual sponsorship?
   • Corporate sponsorship involves a UAE-based company acting as your sponsor, while individual sponsorship means a UAE national sponsors your business. Corporate sponsorship is ideal for businesses seeking less direct involvement from the sponsor, while individual sponsorship is common in certain industries.
