FAQ
Why do UAE banks reject LLC account applications?
UAE banks apply strict KYC checks and require clear shareholder structure, authority, and business purpose. Incomplete operating agreements are a common rejection reason. My Basic package ensures a bank-compliant operating agreement.
Can you draft for free zone companies (not Mainland)?
Yes. Free zones like DMCC, Dubai South, DIFC, and ADGM require agreements aligned with their regulations. I tailor documents to your specific free zone authority and applicable law.
Operating Agreement vs Shareholders’ Agreement?
An Operating Agreement governs internal management (voting, profits, authority). A Shareholders’ Agreement governs owner relations (exit rights, pre-emption, drag/tag, disputes). Most multi-founder companies need both. Standard tier includes both.
Can you include vesting and founder departure clauses?
Yes. Vesting schedules, cliff periods, good/bad leaver clauses, and buyout mechanisms are available in Standard & Premium tiers, especially for VC-ready startups.
Can you help if founders are outside the UAE?
Yes. Many UAE free zones (DIFC, ADGM) allow 100% foreign ownership. I provide structuring advisory for non-resident founders along with corporate documents.
