Business Legal Structures for DIFC Free Zone

Three independent bodies make the rules for the DIFC Free Zone: Dubai International Financial Centre, Dubai Financial Services Authority, and Dubai International Financial Centre courts. DIFC lets you start a business using Companies Law, Limited Liability Partnership Law, General Partnership Law, Limited Partnership Law, Non-Profit Incorporated Organisations Law, and Foundations Law.

You can set up your business limited by shares as a Public Company (PLC), a Private Company (LTD), or a branch office of an established foreign company (Recognised Company) within DIFC. You can also move your existing firm’s incorporation to DIFC from another jurisdiction.

You can set up partnership structures such as a Limited Liability Partnership (LLP), General Partnership (GP), or Limited Partnership (LP), or a branch of a foreign Limited Liability Partnership (RLLP), foreign general partnership (RP), or pre-existing limited partnership (RLP). You can also move an existing limited partnership to DIFC (Continued LP).

NPIO is a legal entity with no shares or members needed. You can register your firm as NPIO or move your current non-profit firm to DIFC (Continued NPIO) from another jurisdiction.
