Dubai has introduced major reforms in 2025 that make it easier for international investors to set up Limited Liability Companies (LLCs). Some of the most important updates include:
- 100% Foreign Ownership: Investors can now fully own LLCs in Dubai mainland without requiring a local Emirati partner. This applies across more than 120 approved business activities.
- Court Ruling Clarity: A Dubai Court of Cassation ruling (Decision No. 8 of 2025) confirmed that older LLCs (formed before 2021) are not invalid simply because they didn’t meet the old 51% UAE national ownership rule. This gives confidence to both new and existing investors.
- Streamlined Setup: The process of forming an LLC has become more digital and transparent, with simplified documentation and faster approvals.
- Strategic Advantage: These changes are designed to attract global entrepreneurs, giving them full control, profit retention, and easier restructuring of existing businesses.
This is a game-changer for entrepreneurs, consultants, and startups looking to establish a presence in Dubai.
