Every reason to change Company Management
Whatever the reason for changing your manager or officers, the filing is the same kind of work. We handle all of it.
Resignation
The current manager steps down from the role.
Retirement
A long-serving manager retires from the company.
New appointment
You bring in a new general manager.
Board decision
The shareholders or board decide on a change.
Add an officer
Appoint an additional officer or signatory.
Remove a signatory

What it touches
One change, every record aligned.
The manager is named in more than one place. Miss one and approvals stall, so we update them all together and keep the records consistent.

Your manager is your signatory
The general manager usually signs for the bank, the immigration e-channel (the UAE’s online visa-processing system) and government authorities. Keeping the record exact means transactions and approvals never get held up.
- Bank mandates kept valid
- Visa and e-channel signatory current

Good to know
Manager changes, answered.
- How do I change the manager of a UAE company?
- You pass a board or shareholder resolution, amend the Memorandum of Association and update the manager named on the trade license. For a Mainland company this is notarised and approved by the economic department; in a Free Zone the authority approves the change. We handle every step for you.
- How long does a Change of management take?
- Most changes complete within one to two weeks, depending on the jurisdiction and how quickly documents are signed and notarised. We prepare everything in advance so it moves quickly.
- Why does the manager on record matter?
- The manager or general manager is usually your authorised signatory, so they sign for the bank, the immigration e-channel and government authorities. If the record is out of date, transactions and approvals can stall, which is why the change must be filed properly.
- Can I add an officer instead of replacing the manager?
- Yes. You can appoint an additional officer or signatory alongside the existing manager. We draft the resolution and update the license and mandates to reflect the new appointment.
- Does the bank account need updating too?
- Usually yes. When the authorised signatory changes, your bank refreshes its mandate so the new manager can operate the account. We prepare what the bank needs and update the signatory records.
- What does a Change of management cost in the UAE?
- Cost depends on the jurisdiction, since Mainland amendments involve notary fees and Free Zones charge a fixed amendment fee per change. We confirm a clear, fixed quote for your company before any work begins.
- Do I need the outgoing manager's consent?
- In many cases a no-objection certificate from the outgoing manager is required, especially where they are an authorised signatory or visa sponsor signatory. We advise on what your authority needs and obtain it.
- Can you handle the whole Change of management?
- Yes. We cover the resolution, the MoA and license amendment, notarisation, authority approval and the bank and immigration updates. One advisor manages it from start to finish.
