Abu Dhabi is the capital, while Dubai is the country&#8217;s global business, finance, tourism and logistics hub. Other major cities include Sharjah, Al Ain and Ajman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UAE has the second-largest economy in the Middle East, with GDP of around USD 545 billion in 2024. Although it is a major oil and gas producer, the non-oil sector now contributes over 70% of GDP, with hydrocarbons accounting for roughly 25\u201330%. The economy is highly diversified across trade, tourism, finance, real estate and logistics. Approximately 88.5% of the population are expatriates, making the UAE one of the most international workforces in the world. Arabic is the official language, but English is the lingua franca of business and daily life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>*<em>This guide is intended for general informational purposes only and should not be viewed as legal or tax advice.

Your business retains full control of the day-to-day work and deliverables, while we carry the employment, payroll, and tax liability.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-40 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>When should a company consider using an EOR?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>An EOR is especially useful in a range of scenarios. It is the most efficient route when you want to convert existing contractors into compliant employees and reduce misclassification risk, or when you need to hire talent in a country where you do not have a local entity. It also allows you to onboard quickly without going through a lengthy and complex company registration process, while ensuring full compliance with local employment law, payroll, and tax regulations. Beyond these core use cases, an EOR is equally valuable when you are testing a new market before committing to a long-term investment, or when you simply need temporary or project-based hires abroad.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-42 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Can we hire both local nationals and foreign employees through an EOR?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Yes. Our EOR services cover both local nationals and foreign hires. For foreign nationals, additional visa or work permit requirements apply, and we can support the application process end-to-end \u2014 including sponsorship in jurisdictions where we hold the relevant licence.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-44 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Is permanent establishment (PE) risk avoided?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>An EOR is a third-party business that legally employs international workers on your behalf, creating a clear layer of separation between your company and the staff based in other countries. The EOR becomes the legal employer for those workers, so although the employees continue to deliver services to your business, the legal distancing helps mitigate many common PE risks. That said, PE is determined by the facts on the ground (the nature of the activity, contract-signing authority, where revenue is generated, and so on), not solely by who issues the payslip. We therefore recommend reviewing each engagement with our specialists to confirm the appropriate structure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac is-vertical is-content-justification-stretch is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-46 wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading ac-header ac-trigger has-medium-font-size\"><strong>What is your pricing model?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group ac-panel\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Our standard management fee is <strong>5% of the contract value, with a minimum of \u20ac550<\/strong>.
