Business Structures

Business Structures Under UAE Mainland License

Civil Company

A Civil Company is a partnership formed to provide professional or service-based activities. Partners can be of any nationality, but a Local Service Agent (LSA) is required if no UAE or GCC nationals are involved. It's important to note that partners in a Civil Company share joint liability for any financial obligations or losses incurred by the business.

Single-Person LLC

A Single-Person LLC is a business structure owned and operated by a single individual or another legal entity. This structure provides limited liability protection, meaning the owner's personal assets are generally shielded from business debts and liabilities.

Limited Liability Company (LLC)

A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure comprising 2 to 50 shareholders. This legal framework is particularly attractive to expatriates and foreign investors seeking to establish a company in the UAE. Notably, foreign investors can enjoy 100% ownership of an LLC in specific business sectors.

Sole Proprietorship

A Sole Proprietorship is a business owned and operated by a single individual. Foreigners can hold 100% ownership of a Sole Proprietorship in the UAE. However, a Local Service Agent (LSA) is mandatory for non-UAE nationals to handle government-related matters. This business structure allows professionals to practice their services anywhere within the UAE.

Branch Office of Local & Foreign Companies

A Branch Office is an extension of an existing company, either local or foreign, established within the UAE Mainland. It operates under the parent company's license but is required to conduct multiple activities specified in the parent company's license. This structure allows businesses to expand their operations within the UAE without forming a separate legal entity.
