Thanks to policies and regulations that provide with an extraordinary businesses climate the United Arab Emirates has been keeping welcoming new companies or branches of international companies that can choose among different kinds of corporate structures. Here are some of them:
Limited Liability Company (LLC)
A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is the most common type of company structure in the UAE and it is recommended for companies planning to trade within the region. An LLC requires a minimum of two and a maximum of fifty shareholders whose liability is limited to their shares in the capital of the company.
Branch Office or Representative Office
Based on the UAE Commercial Laws, foreign companies can register in the UAE either a Branch or a Representative Office.
A branch office has the same legal identity as its parent company and conducts business under the name of its parent company. Whilst each Emirate has its own licensing rules for branch offices, this type of entity can carry out a variety of activities (as approved by the Department of Economic Development of the relevant Emirate).
Civil Company –Professional License
A professional service company, also known as a Civil Company, is the most common form of entity used by foreign investors / professional individuals in Dubai and Sharjah to provide professional services. A professional license is awarded to skilled professionals having the relevant qualifications and experience.
Free Zone Company (FZC)
Registering a company in a Free Trade Zone (FTZ) is certainly an attractive option for investors who aspire to internationalize their business.
A FZC offers the possibility to implement an efficient tax planning and, at the same time, boasts of the consistency that is becoming more and more pressing in the current international scenario.
The shareholders of an FZC have the right to obtain a Residence Visa in the UAE. While the license must be renewed every year, the residence visa must be renewed every 2 or 3 years (depending on the chosen Free Trade Zone).
One of the main advantages offered by an FZC is that the company can be 100% foreign owned and the presence of an Emirati partner is not required.
The FZC (like the local company) can make use of the Double Tax Treaties (DTTs), the treaties that avoid double taxation. The application of the treaties depends on what is established in every single treaty that the Emirates have signed with more than 100 countries.
Offshore Company
An offshore company is a legal entity established in an offshore financial center or a tax haven, protected by specific legislation that generally guarantees full tax exemption and a high level of privacy and security. Offshore company formation can be used to maintain and create wealth, conduct international trading, contracting or consulting services, hold property, and perform asset protection activities. Offshore companies also offer advantages beyond taxation, such as facilitating direct investments into certain jurisdictions, managing withholding taxes for foreign income, and holding intellectual properties.
The advantages of being part of the economic and financial life of Dubai and the of UAE are undeniable, especially at the present time.
The stability of the country, the regulations supporting Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), the policies aimed to boost economy recommend to set up your own company on the Emirate market as soon as possible.
