# Ultimate Beneficial Owner Support in the UAE

> Make ownership and control information easier to trace, document and keep current.

Ultimate beneficial owner information concerns the natural persons who ultimately own or control a legal entity. The information needed and the relevant registrar depend on the company structure and jurisdiction.
TGA can help map an ownership chain, organise supporting documents and identify updates needed in internal records or registrar submissions. Complex structures may need specialist legal review.

## What we cover

- **Ownership mapping:** Trace direct and indirect ownership and control through the entity structure.
- **Supporting records:** Organise shareholder, control and identification information for review.
- **Changes and updates:** Identify changes that may require register or authority updates.

## How we work

1. **Understand the structure:** Review the entity, shareholders and relevant jurisdiction.
2. **Collect evidence:** Bring together ownership documents and identification details.
3. **Plan updates:** Agree records and filing steps with the responsible company team.

## Useful information to share

- Trade licence and incorporation documents
- Shareholder and ownership chart
- Identification details for relevant persons
- Existing UBO register and recent changes

UBO record and filing requirements differ by jurisdiction, including financial free zones. TGA can support preparation while the company remains responsible for accurate submissions.
