Document background
The Company Registration Letter is a fundamental document required for establishing any business entity in the United Arab Emirates. It serves as the initial formal communication with regulatory authorities and must be prepared in accordance with UAE Federal Law No. 32 of 2021 and related regulations. This document is mandatory whether registering in the UAE mainland or in any of the country's free zones, though specific requirements may vary by jurisdiction. The letter must contain comprehensive information about the proposed business, including shareholder details, capital structure, business activities, and management framework. Recent changes in UAE company laws, particularly regarding 100% foreign ownership possibilities, have made this document even more significant in the business setup process. The Company Registration Letter acts as a foundation document that influences the entire registration process and must be carefully prepared to ensure compliance with all current UAE regulatory requirements.
