Sponsors
You have to have a local partner or sponsor to open up a company in most of the GCC. The sponsor typically gets paid a fee to sponsor you and get the government paperwork, visas and so on processed.
Yes, it is a totally daft system. These days, Dubai's Free Zones act as your sponsor and take away all the headache, the paperwork and the need to deal with the younger, feckless sons of wealthy families.
My big name sponsor when I first moved to Dubai was about as useful as a chocolate condom.
