Documents Steps of Setup a Limited-Liability Company (LLC)

As per the Federal Law, there are seven types of business entities that can be formed in Dubai. Of these, the Limited-Liability Company (LLC) is most preferred by businesses planning to establish a company in Dubai.
A Limited-Liability Company can be formed with a minimum of two and maximum of fifty shareholders whose liability is limited to their shares in the business’s capital.

LLC is a flexible and differential profit sharing arrangement is also possible. It is a general requirement for such a company to have 51% participation by UAE national. Hence, the formal shareholding pattern for an LLC is as follows:

Local Partner (UAE sponsor) – 51%

Foreign Shareholder(s) – 49%

Moreover, either of the foreign partner or the UAE nationals may be granted the authority of managing the organization.

In addition to this, Companies Law stipulates that an LLC may engage in any lawful business except in activities related to banking, money investment (on behalf of other parties), and insurance.
