Under the Kuwaiti Commercial Companies Law a WLL may be formed by a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 30 natural or legal persons, whose liability is limited to their shares in the company’s capital. At least 51 percent of the capital must be owned by Kuwaitis. The minimum amount of capital required is KD 7,500. Contributions to capital may be made in cash of kind. Capital may not be increased by public subscription. The full amount of the share value must be paid in on subscription. Shares may not be assigned to a non-member, unless the other existing members are granted a pre-emptive right to purchase the shares. WLLs may not engage in banking, insurance or investment activities on behalf of others.
