All you should know before forming a General Partnership Company in Dubai

Starting a business in Dubai is a dream for many entrepreneurs. For a long period of time UAE has been helping investors and business owners to launch and expand their businesses. Establishing a business in Dubai has become a very profitable proposition now.

For the past few years, there has been widespread development in the infrastructure of the UAE leading to rapid economic growth.

General Partnership In Dubai

A General Partnership is an agreement between two or more partners whereby each of the partners is jointly and severally liable to the extent of their assets for the company’s liabilities. This type of company can be opened by UAE nationals only.

General Partnership Company Formation

Every partner has the right to participate in the management and control of the business. A partnership may dissolve in the event of withdrawal, bankruptcy, insanity, or a partner's death. The partnership may, however, continue if the rest of the partners agree to the same. In that case, a new partnership agreement must be created among the remaining partners who would like to continue and any new partners who will be added.

Pros of Forming a General Partnership company in Dubai

Below are the pros of forming a General partnership company in Dubai.

A General Partnership or formation of a partnership business is easy to establish and the paper works are also easy to maintain. The simplified tax filing is the most important benefit of a general partnership business because no corporate forms or double taxation is required. Each partner files a U.S. Return of Partnership Income. This form dictates the partner’s responsibility for the profits and/or losses of the General Partnership, which are then claimed by the partner on his or her U.S. Individual Income Tax Return.

Cons of forming a General Partnership company in Dubai

Below are the pros of forming a General partnership company in Dubai.

The General Partnership does not have any separate entity from the partners as it lacks corporate structure. This means that the partners are totally unprotected from any litigation against the business, and their assets can be seized at any time to cover the unmet obligations of the business. So if one partner comes to an agreement without informing other partners, then each partner has the right to obligate to the terms of the agreement. Even the same goes for credit. If any partner gets any credit in the business then all the partners would become equally obligated to the terms of that debt.
