Choose the Right Legal Structure
Dubai commercial law recognizes two specific forms of partnerships. Selecting the correct one is critical for your liability exposure and foreign ownership rights.
1. General Partnership (Solidarity Company)
Reserved primarily for UAE nationals, this structure involves partners who are jointly and severally liable for company debts. It offers simplified operations but carries unlimited liability. We manage the general partnership setup for local joint ventures.
2. Simple Commandite Company
The preferred route for mixed investment. This structure combines General Partners (UAE nationals with unlimited liability) and Limited Partners (foreign investors with liability capped at their capital contribution). This is the safest path for limited partnership formation involving expatriate funds.

Partnership vs. LLC: Assessing the Risk
Investors often debate between a partnership and a Limited Liability Company (LLC). While partnerships offer management agility, they carry higher personal risk.
If you require 100% foreign ownership with strictly limited liability, an LLC might be superior. However, for professional alliances (like legal or architectural firms), a partnership firm registration remains the prestigious industry standard.
Common Questions on Partnerships
Can foreigners start a General Partnership?
Typically, General Partnerships are restricted to UAE nationals due to the unlimited liability clause. Foreigners usually participate as Limited Partners in a Commandite company or opt for a Mainland LLC. Contact us to verify your eligibility for UAE partnership formation.
What is the minimum capital requirement?
There is no fixed minimum capital for a General Partnership, as partners guarantee debts with personal assets. This lowers the initial financial barrier for setting up a partnership in Dubai compared to some free zone entities.
Is a Civil Company a Partnership?
Yes, a Civil Company is essentially a professional partnership for non-commercial activities (e.g., doctors, engineers). It allows 100% foreign ownership. We help you choose between a civil or commercial partnership license Dubai.
Will I get an Investor Visa?
Yes. Partners named in the license are eligible for a 3-year Partner Visa. Infico handles the complete investor visa processing for all shareholders.
