What is a Business Power of Attorney?

A Business Power of Attorney (Corporate POA) is a formal legal instrument that grants a designated person or entity — the attorney — the authority to represent and act on behalf of a company for defined commercial purposes. In the UAE, business POAs are essential for companies with overseas shareholders, multiple directors, or those requiring local representation for government dealings, contract signing, banking, and regulatory compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Business Power of Attorney in the UAE?

A Business POA is a legal document that authorises a person or entity to act on behalf of a company for specific or general business purposes. It is notarized at a UAE Notary Public and is legally binding under UAE commercial law.

Does a business POA need to be attested in the UAE?

Yes. A business POA issued in the UAE must be notarized by a UAE Notary Public. If it is issued abroad for use in the UAE, it must be attested by the UAE embassy in that country and then by the UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Can a business POA cover multiple purposes?

Yes. A general business POA can grant broad authority across multiple domains — banking, contracts, government dealings, HR, and more. A special POA limits authority to one specific purpose.

How long is a business POA valid?

A business POA is typically valid for 2 years unless a specific duration or expiry event is stated. It can be renewed or revoked at any time.

Can I revoke a Business POA?

Yes. The grantor can revoke a business POA at any time by submitting a revocation notice to the Notary Public. It is important to notify all relevant parties of the revocation to prevent misuse.
