Dubai LLC formation

​

Of all the legal forms of entities that can be established in Dubai, Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most popular and common one. With a flexible structure, Dubai allows LLCs benefit from differential profit sharing arrangements. Such engagement gives foreign investors an edge as the 51% local equity rule remains inflexible in most cases.

 

A limited liability company can be easily formed by a minimum of two and maximum of fifty shareholders whose liability is restricted to their share in the company’s capital.

Why LLC?

​

One of the major reasons behind selecting the LLC form of entity is owing to the fact that this is the only option that gives maximum ownership i.e. 49% to the foreign nationals for a trading license. With a compulsion to have one UAE national as a partner in the LLC formed, it serves as an advantage to the foreign investors as they can use the knowledge and experience of the local partner in understanding the market scenario, work culture, legal regulations, gaining local resources and much more easily.

​

The fixed annual fee is yet another reason why foreign investors opt for LLC. The company is not liable to disclose its accounts to anyone. Also, the fee arrangement can be a part of legal agreement between the foreign company and the local partner. Additionally, business operation responsibilities can be vested in either of the partners – foreign national, local UAE partner, or even to a third party as a matter of fact.
