Local representation

Local Representative and MAH services in the UAE.

We can act as your UAE-licensed local representative and Marketing Authorisation Holder, so international manufacturers can register and sell in the UAE without setting up their own local entity. We take on the in-market responsibilities, compliance, recalls, and ongoing communication with regulators, while the registration stays yours.

A practical way to hold your UAE market authorisation.

When you would rather not stand up your own entity in the UAE, we can hold the local-facing roles for you. As a UAE-licensed entity, we act as your local representative and Marketing Authorisation Holder, and carry the in-market responsibilities that come with it.

Acting as your representative does not transfer ownership of your product. The registration stays with you, and you can move it to your own entity or another representative whenever you choose. We simply give you a dependable way to keep your authorisation in good standing.

Local representation, answered.

What does a UAE local representative do?
A UAE local representative is a UAE-licensed entity that holds your market authorisation and carries the in-market responsibilities on your behalf, such as communication with regulators, post-registration reporting, and recalls. We can act in this role so you can register and sell in the UAE without setting up your own local entity.
Does appointing a representative transfer ownership of our product?
No. Acting as your representative does not transfer ownership of your product. The registration stays with the manufacturer, and we hold it on your behalf as a practical way to keep your UAE market authorisation in place.
Can we change our representative later?
Yes. Because the registration stays with the manufacturer, you can move it to your own entity or to another representative whenever you choose. We support an orderly handover when that time comes.
Which roles can you hold for us?
We can act as Local Representative for pharmaceutical manufacturers, Marketing Authorisation Holder, Authorised Representative for medical devices, Responsible Person for cosmetics, and Qualified Person for Pharmacovigilance, and handle correspondence and reporting with UAE regulators.
