What ongoing compliance does an LLC in the UAE need to maintain?
Every LLC in the UAE must renew its trade license annually, maintain accounting records, and comply with UAE Corporate Tax, VAT registration (if applicable), Economic Substance Regulations (ESR), and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) laws. AE Formations provides ongoing compliance support to help businesses stay fully aligned with UAE regulations.
How long does it take to set up an LLC company in Dubai?
On average, LLC company formation in Dubai takes 5 to 10 business days, depending on the type of business activity, approvals required, and the chosen jurisdiction (Mainland or Free Zone). AE Formations ensures faster processing through its direct coordination with government authorities.
Can a foreign investor own 100% of an LLC in Dubai?
Yes. Under the UAE Commercial Companies Law, foreign investors can now enjoy 100% ownership for most business activities in Dubai Mainland and Free Zones. However, certain strategic sectors may still require a local partner or special government approval.
