A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most popular business structure for the UAE mainland, allowing companies to trade anywhere within the UAE and internationally.
Recent legal changes now allow expatriates to own 100% of an LLC in most commercial and industrial sectors, removing the need for a local Emirati sponsor.
The process involves trade name reservation, initial approval from DET, drafting the Memorandum of Association (MOA), and renting a physical office space.
