Home / LLC Company Formation
The most popular mainland structure: limited liability, 100% foreign ownership for most activities, and freedom to trade across the UAE.
A Limited Liability Company under Dubai DET protects shareholders to the value of their share capital, accepts 1 to 50 shareholders, and covers the broadest range of commercial and professional activities. Since the ownership reforms, most LLCs are formed with 100% foreign shareholding and no local sponsor.
Pro24 handles activity selection, name reservation, initial approval, MOA drafting and notarisation, office registration, licence issuance and your investor visas, with one fixed quote and a single account manager.
Structure, credibility and flexibility in one entity.
Personal assets stay separate from company obligations, capped at your capital contribution.

Yes. A single-shareholder LLC (sole proprietorship LLC) is permitted, keeping limited liability with one owner.
Yes, but many activities can start with a compliant virtual office or shared Ejari, upgrading as visa needs grow.
If your revenue comes from the UAE market, the LLC wins on access and credibility. If clients are abroad, a free zone entity is usually cheaper. We compare both for your numbers before you decide.
