When you’re big, you need a corporate structure that matches up. If you handle large projects or operations, you’ll want to look at forming a shareholding company.

For a shareholding company, the minimum capital required is Dh. 10 million (US$ 2.725 million) for a public company, and Dh. 2 million (US$ 0.545 million) for a private shareholding company. The chairman and majority of directors must be UAE nationals. There is less flexibility of profit distribution than is permissible in the case of limited liability companies.
