Limited Liability Company (LLC)

A company registration in addition to local trade it also permits global trade.

With company registration and company formation in Dubai L.L.C., you still can own only 49% of the equity. However, you can do that and keep more than 49% of the profits. U.A.E. law allows L.L.C.s to come up with flexible, differential profit sharing arrangements. These can give you an enormous advantage, especially since the 51% local equity rule is quite inflexible in most cases. It’s not surprising, therefore, that the L.L.C. is the most popular form of business organization in U.A.E.
