Overview
Memorandum of Association for Dubai companies
The Memorandum of Association (MOA) is the foundational constitutional document of a Dubai mainland LLC — defining company name, activities, share capital, shareholder names and percentages, profit distribution, and manager appointment powers.
DET requires MOA in bilingual Arabic-English format, notarised at Dubai Notary Public, before final trade licence issuance. MOA amendments follow the same notarisation process for partner changes and activity updates.
KPM Global Services drafts MOA aligned with shareholder agreements, coordinates Arabic legal translation, books notary appointments, and links MOA filing to DET licensing workflow.
