A memorandum, company resolution and Power of Attorney record different business decisions. Identify the company, authorised signatories and exact transaction before drafting.
What to know
The appropriate company setup route depends on the business activity, legal form and licensing authority. Mainland, free zone and offshore arrangements have different purposes and requirements.
Do not assume every mainland business requires a UAE shareholder or that every activity permits the same ownership structure. Confirm the relevant licensing conditions. Company documents and any representative’s authority must reflect the actual owners, decisions and permitted tasks.
