What is Ultimate Beneficial Ownership (UBO)?

The UAE introduced UBO regulations under Cabinet Decision No. 58 of 2020 to strengthen Anti-Money Laundering (AML) measures and improve business transparency. Every company, mainland, free zone, or offshore, must identify and disclose its Ultimate Beneficial Owner (UBO) to the authorities. Failing to identify or disclose your ultimate beneficial owner can lead to serious consequences, including heavy fines, regulatory hurdles, and reputational risks. Maintaining accurate UBO records is now a crucial step for any company in Dubai, whether you’re applying for a license, renewing one, or updating your corporate records.

Complying with UBO regulations means:

  • Clearly identifying who really owns or controls your company
  • Keeping accurate records that meet legal standards
  • Submitting this information to the relevant authorities when required

Frequently Asked Questions

An Ultimate Beneficial Owner is the individual who ultimately owns or controls a company, usually through at least 25% ownership or significant management influence. The UAE requires every company to identify and declare its UBO to promote transparency and accountability in business operations.

UBO compliance is not just a legal formality — it’s a way to protect your business reputation and strengthen transparency. It helps authorities combat money laundering, financial crimes, and misuse of shell companies. Vista ensures your filings are accurate, confidential, and submitted on time, keeping your business compliant and trusted by regulators and partners.

UBO compliance builds trust with investors, banks, and regulators by showing that your company operates transparently and ethically. It also prevents fines or penalties, simplifies banking and auditing processes, and enhances your credibility in global transactions. Vista helps you maintain that trust by managing your compliance with precision and confidentiality.

All companies licensed in the UAE mainland and most free zones are required to maintain and file their UBO details with their respective licensing authority. Companies registered in DIFC and ADGM follow their own frameworks. Vista ensures your compliance aligns with the rules of your jurisdiction.

Companies are required to maintain three key registers: a UBO Register, a Shareholders or Partners Register, and a Register of Nominee Directors or Managers. Vista helps you prepare, maintain, and securely update these records in line with UAE requirements — ensuring your documentation is always audit-ready and compliant.

Failing to submit or update UBO information can lead to financial penalties and, in some cases, license restrictions. Vista prevents such risks by tracking submission timelines, managing all filings, and ensuring your company remains fully compliant throughout the year.

UBO records must be updated within 15 days of any change in ownership or management. Vista monitors these deadlines for you, ensuring every update or amendment is submitted accurately and on time.
