A registered lease agreement for a physical premises (office, industrial or retail space) is required to incorporate and maintain the license of an LLC. The lease must be registered with the relevant authority (e.g. Ejari in Dubai or Tawtheeq in Abu Dhabi) as part of the licensing process with the Department of Economic Development (DED).

Yes, the LLC may engage in international transactions outside the UAE including the acquisition of shares in foreign companies, sale or or purchase of foreign assets and participation in cross-border business operations, subject to compliance with UAE laws and any foreign jurisdictional requirements.

Within the UAE, acquisitions by LLCs are generally structured as share acquisitions rather than asset acquisitions, as asset purchases are more complex and may require third-party approvals or re-registration of licences, leases and employees. Asset acquisitions are less commonly recognized or not customarily practiced in the UAE.

Conversion from one (1) form to another is possible, provided that the provisions of the law and the rules and regulations of the applicable authorities are complied with.
