Set Up a Dubai Holding LLC From the USA

Launch your UAE business from the United States with structured support for selecting the right Dubai setup route, preparing formation documents, securing licensing, and planning ongoing compliance. VJM Global helps American founders navigate Mainland and Free Zone considerations, UAE Corporate Tax registration, VAT requirements where applicable, and practical post-incorporation steps—without confusing a new Dubai LLC with the separate Dubai Holding group.

Our Dubai LLC Setup Process

Clarify Your Dubai Business Activity

We begin by reviewing your ownership, commercial activity, hiring plans, and US-to-UAE operating model. This helps identify whether a Dubai Mainland, Free Zone, or other UAE structure is better aligned with your planned market access and licensing needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is the owner of Dubai Holding LLC?

Dubai Holding is a separate Dubai-based investment company and should not be confused with a new LLC that you may form in Dubai. It is owned by the Government of Dubai through its ruling-family ownership structure. A founder establishing a Dubai LLC from the United States would create an independent legal entity, subject to the chosen licensing authority’s ownership, activity, and documentation requirements.
