The LLC Structure
LLC Company Setup Dubai With the Right Structure From Day One
A Limited Liability Company protects your personal assets. Your liability stops at your share in the capital. The company signs contracts, holds the licence, and carries the risk.
The structure is flexible under the Commercial Companies Law, Federal Decree Law No. 32 of 2021.
One to fifty shareholders, and a single owner is allowed.
A one-shareholder LLC is called a One Person Company.
Shareholders can be individuals or companies.
Corporate shareholders are common in group structures.
An appointed manager runs the company, with powers written into the MoA.
Most activities need no minimum capital.
Some regulated activities require AED 50,000 to 350,000.
Most activities allow 100% foreign ownership.
A few strategic activities still carry conditions, and we flag them before you commit.
Plan and Fit
We Choose the Right LLC Structure for Your Business
We match the structure to your plans before any licence is filed.
Sell inside the UAE, hire freely, win government work
Mainland LLC
Export-focused or fully digital business
Free zone company
One professional, low-cost, service work only
Sole establishment
Still deciding? Our business setup team compares every structure against your activity, partners, and visa needs. You can also read our mainland vs free zone guide for the full comparison.
What It Costs
LLC Trade License Cost in Dubai With Every Setup Cost Explained
The LLC trade license cost in Dubai typically runs from AED 12,000 to 30,000. That covers the first year. Your total Dubai LLC licence cost depends on activity, office, and visas. The table below shows the government side. Bestax charges one fixed written service fee on top, agreed before we start.
| Item | Typical government range |
|---|---|
| Trade licence, first year | AED 12,000 to 30,000 |
| External approvals, regulated activities | AED 2,000 to 10,000 |
| English trade name fee | AED 2,000 |
| MoA notarisation | AED 1,500 to 2,000 |
| Visa per person, with establishment card, medical, and Emirates ID | AED 5,000 to 15,000 |
| Office, from a flexi desk | Around AED 5,000 per year |
Every figure is confirmed in an itemised written quote before you pay anything.
How We Handle Your Renewals
Dubai LLC trade license renewal fees repeat yearly and usually match the first year's government charges. Most renewals fall between AED 10,000 and 15,000. We track your date, prepare the file, and renew before any lapse. Your visas and bank standing never suffer from an expired licence.
How It Runs
LLC Company Formation in Dubai With Every Step Handled by Bestax
Seven stages, with the day range the document publishes against each one.
- Days 1 to 2
Activity and structure
We shortlist from over 2,000 DET-approved activities and confirm the LLC fits your plan.
- Days 2 to 3
Trade name
We check and reserve your name through Invest in Dubai (opens in a new tab). An English name carries the AED 2,000 fee, and we tell you upfront.
- Days 3 to 5
Initial approval
We submit shareholder passports, visa copies, and activity details to DET.
- Days 5 to 10
The MoA, drafted for you
We draft the share split, the manager's powers, and profit distribution, then arrange notarisation. This document decides control later, so we write it carefully.
- Days 5 to 10
Office and Ejari
Every mainland LLC needs an Ejari registered address. A flexi desk satisfies the rule for many activities.
- Days 7 to 14
Licence issued
Simple files finish within 1 to 2 weeks. External approvals can extend the timeline, and we tell you exactly when.
- Days 14 to 28
Cards, visas, bank, and tax
We process the establishment card and visas, support the bank account, and complete your tax registrations.
Free Zone LLCs
DAFZA Company Formation With the Right Free Zone Structure
The LLC structure exists inside free zones too, with 100% ownership and zone benefits. Considering DAFZ company formation? We set up free zone LLCs in:
- DAFZ
- IFZA
- Meydan
- DMCC
The right zone depends on your activity, trade patterns, and visa needs.
Formation and Tax, One Agency
LLC Company Setup Dubai With Corporate Tax Registration Included
3 months
To register for corporate tax
New companies must register for corporate tax within three months of incorporation, through the Federal Tax Authority (opens in a new tab). Missing it costs AED 10,000. We complete the registration as part of your setup, so the deadline never becomes your problem.
AED 375,000
Where VAT starts to apply
VAT follows when your sales approach AED 375,000, and we monitor that too. Formation and tax from one FTA-approved tax agency means nothing slips between providers.
Your Side of the File
Documents We Collect for You
Four things come from you. Everything else on the file is prepared by us.
- Passport copies of all shareholders.
- Visa or entry stamp copies for UAE residents.
- A No Objection Certificate, if a shareholder is employed in the UAE.
- Passport photos and your proposed trade name.
Then we prepare the rest ourselves: the MoA, the Ejari, and any activity approvals. Nothing is submitted until the file is complete.

What Clients Say About Bestax
We believe our work speaks for itself. Our clients say it louder. Owners across the Emirates trust Bestax to form their companies right and keep them compliant afterwards.
Very smooth and efficient service to open a freezone company. Even while sitting in canada. They are great. Highly highly recommend.
Bestax have been managing my accounts for the past 1 year now and I must say they do an amazing job. My tax returns are always on time and I never faced any penalty.
Maham guided me through the business license renewal process. She even flagged upcoming compliance changes I had no clue about. It’s that extra attention to detail that makes Bestax stand out.
Anusha at Bestax keeps our financials in top shape. Her budgeting advice has improved our cash flow significantly. Highly reliable team!
