Embarking on a business journey in Dubai offers vast opportunities but requires careful adherence to legal requirements. Here’s a concise guide on the necessary legal contracts and documents for establishing a business in Dubai in 2024.
A legal contract is a legally binding agreement between two or more parties. There must be an offer and an acceptance of that offer, which creates a meeting of the minds. The offer cannot be illegal, and both parties must have the capacity to understand the contract. Consideration, or something of value, must be exchanged for the promise made in the contract. The contract must be in writing and signed by both parties.
A fundamental requirement, the type of license needed—commercial, professional or industrial—depends on your business activity.

These agreements ensure transparency and harmonious relations among shareholders and partners, detailing aspects like profit sharing and dispute resolution.
