Overview

UBO Notification — Meet UAE Beneficial Ownership Transparency Requirements. The UAE requires all companies to identify, document, and report their Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBOs) — the natural persons who ultimately own or control the entity. This requirement is part of the UAE's commitment to international transparency standards and anti-money laundering compliance under Cabinet Resolution No. 58 of 2020. Al Aegis Corporate Services helps businesses comply with UBO requirements by identifying beneficial owners based on legal ownership thresholds and control criteria, maintaining accurate and up-to-date UBO registers, filing declarations with relevant licensing authorities, and providing ongoing monitoring and updates as ownership structures change. Every company in the UAE — including mainland companies, free zone entities, and offshore companies — must maintain a UBO register and file notifications with their licensing authority. The register must include details of all individuals who ultimately own 25% or more of the company's shares or exercise effective control through other means. Failure to comply with UBO requirements can result in penalties, license suspension, and referral to law enforcement authorities. Al Aegis ensures your business maintains accurate UBO records and files all required notifications on time, protecting your company from compliance risks.
