What company to choose and how to register it at Near East

In Qatar, the UAE, and Bahrain, it is possible to create a business at Near East in one of these forms:

• A limited liability company is a type of legal entity in which the participants have limited financial and legal responsibility for the results of the business. The maximum number of participants is usually limited. For this company, more straightforward registration and record-keeping rules are applied.
• A joint-stock company is the type of company business people choose to attract large amounts of financing. The number of participants, as a rule, is unlimited, but the legal entity is subject to stricter registration and record-keeping rules.
• Partnership is a type of business that, compared to the previous two, is not connected with forming a legal entity but is based on an agreement between the participants. Different partnership variants imply other formats of participants' liability - there can be partners who are fully liable and partners whose liability is limited.
• A branch is a simplified business format chosen by foreign companies to conduct the same activities as in the country of primary registration. The option is suitable for those entrepreneurs who want to test local business opportunities before investing large sums in the region.
