Incorporation of Companies
Incorporation of Companies – Limited Liability Company (LLC) in Dubai
Dubai, part of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), is now one of the world’s fastest-growing business hubs. With its strategic location, investor-friendly policies, world-class infrastructure, and connectivity to global markets, it provides a dynamic environment for company formation.
The most common legal form for businesses in the UAE is the Limited Liability Company (LLC). An LLC can be formed with 2 to 50 shareholders, and liability is limited to each shareholder’s capital contribution. Previously, a UAE national sponsor holding 51% shares was required. However, recent reforms now allow 100% foreign ownership in many business sectors, depending on the license category.
Types of Business Licenses in UAE
Commercial License: For trading activities such as buying, selling, or importing/exporting goods.
Industrial License: For manufacturing or processing activities involving machinery or labor.
Professional License: For service-based activities like consultancy, IT, auditing, or legal services.
Tourism License: For businesses involved in travel, tours, and hospitality services.
Some business activities may require additional approvals from other government bodies such as Dubai Municipality or DTCM (Dubai Tourism).
