Note to the Legal Form  

 

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is defined in the Company Law as a company incorporated with not less than two and not more than fifty shareholders, each responsible only for the liabilities of the company to the extent of their share participation in the capital of the company.

 

The Company Law provides that the capital of a Limited Liability Company (LLC) should not be less  than UAE Dh 300,000, which should be divided into equal shares of a value not less than UAE Dh 100 each.

 

This type of company may engage in any form of legitimate business, with the exception of insurance, banking and investment of funds.

 

Non UAE Participation   

 

The participation of non-Emirati in a trade or business in the United Arab Emirates is governed by the  Foreign Business Investment Law, which sets capital requirements and requires 51 percent Emirati participation in capital and profits.

 

It is common for the 51 percent to be held by the UAE national on paper only with the foreign partner(s) providing all the capital requirements for the company and paying an annual fee to the local partner.

 

Under this arrangement the above ownership may not reflect the actual profit distribution within the company, as the company may have internal management agreements in place that provides full management of the company in return for a share of the company’s assets and profits. This internal relationship may or may not be recognised by law depending on the way the internal agreement is made.

                                      and lobster.
