Document background
Business Articles of Association are mandatory for company incorporation in the UAE and serve as the primary constitutional document defining a company's internal governance framework. This document is required under UAE Federal Law No. 2 of 2015 and must be executed before the relevant authorities, including the Department of Economic Development and Notary Public. The Articles of Association outline essential aspects such as shareholding structure, management provisions, shareholder rights, and operational procedures. They must reflect both mandatory UAE legal requirements and any specific arrangements agreed between shareholders, while ensuring compliance with foreign ownership restrictions and local corporate regulations.
