A proper business structure ensures correct licensing, banking, ownership control, tax planning, and compliance. G12 advises startups, SMEs, and groups seeking a clear setup strategy across the UAE.
Planning typically involves two decisions: selecting the legal entity type (LLC, branch, subsidiary, holding company, partnership) and designing a corporate structure that defines ownership, governance, and operational responsibilities.
Business structuring determines legal formation and control. G12 supports compliant entity selection and structure design.
1) Entity Type Selection
Company type impacts liability, approvals, reporting, and how contracts and assets are held.
2) Corporate & Group Structure Design
Group structures define how multiple entities operate together, including subsidiaries, shared services, and holding arrangements.
Business structuring impacts outcomes that directly affect operations and compliance:
G12 compares jurisdiction options based on where customers are, where contracts are executed, and how the business will operate.
