Limited Liability Company (LLC) Set Up in Dubai

The most popular and widely used business structure in the UAE mainland is the Limited Liability Company (LLC). The Department of Economic Development (DED), the government department in charge of mainland company registration and activity control, is in charge of providing LLC licenses.
Despite the fact that the new UAE Commercial Companies Law permits the formation of an LLC company in Dubai with just one shareholder, it is typical for these businesses to have at least two shareholders. This sort of business structure is often created with a minimum of two shareholders since it requires international investors to have a local partner with 51% of the company’s shares for particular operations. While an LLC business is only permitted 50 stockholders at most.
The first step of starting your business in Dubai is to select the Department of Economic Development activity that best fits the nature of your company’s operations. Whether it is professional, commercial, industrial, or handcrafted. The Department of Economic Development offers more than 2000 possibilities for commercial activities from which to pick the one for your business. Depending on the activity of your company, as Limited Liability Companies (LLC) require a partner who is a citizen of the United Arab Emirates or one of the GCC nations. Some operations just call for a service agent rather than a partner. Foreign and reputable businesses demand the hiring of a service representative.
