Incorporation Procedures
The UAE believes in positive interaction, which is why I am immensely pleased to pen the foreword for this book, 'Doing Business in the UAE & UAE Free Trade Zones.' The title is an open invitation to the world to enjoy the warmth of Arabian hospitality, and enhance their business fortunes in this cosmopolitan country that welcomes every one with open hands.

PROCESS OF ESTABLISHING AN 'LLC'
