Limited Liability Company (LLC)

Limited Liability Companies (LLC) are one of the most common types of commercial entities that entrepreneurs and corporations can establish in the UAE. With a quick and easy setup process and a broad range of available business incentives, LLCs are widely preferred by entrepreneurs and corporations that want to penetrate the UAE market and establish a solid footing in the UAE region. Read more

Branch Company

Setting up a Branch Office of a foreign company in Dubai is easy and an attractive prospect as it can be 100% foreign owned, provided a local service agent (like N & Out LLC) is appointed. A Branch Office in Dubai is an extension of a foreign parent company registered outside of the UAE. It is a full-fledged business, permitted to perform contracts or conduct other activities as specified in its license. A foreign Branch Office may only engage in activities similar to those of its parent company. Read more

A foreign investor can set up a company in the UAE either in one of the many free zones or the UAE mainland. Free zone authorities are the government bodies that register and issue business licencss to non-resident companies in the UAE free zone. Free zones allow corporate structures to have a physical presence in the UAE.
