Company Amendment Services in Dubai

Company amendment services cover the formal process of making changes to an existing UAE company - modifying the ownership structure, business activities, company name, registered address, management authority, or corporate documents through the relevant licensing authority.

Amendments are distinct from license renewal (which maintains the current license as-is) and from company closure (which terminates the entity). Amendments modify specific elements while keeping the entity active and operational.

Shareholder change. Adding new shareholders, removing existing ones, or transferring shares. Requires a share transfer agreement, updated MOA, and approval from the licensing authority.

Activity amendment. Adding new business activities or removing existing ones. New activities may require additional regulatory approvals.

Company name change. Changing the registered trade name. Requires new name reservation through the licensing authority.

Address change. Updating the company's registered office address. For mainland companies, involves new Ejari registration.

MOA amendment. Modifying the terms of the Memorandum of Association - profit-sharing, management authority, governance provisions.

Capital change. Increasing or decreasing the company's share capital.

Step 1: Determine the amendment type and requirements. Identify what needs to change and verify the specific requirements with the licensing authority.

Step 2: Prepare the amendment documentation. Compile the required documents - which vary by amendment type.

Step 3: Submit to the licensing authority. Submit the amendment application with supporting documents to DED or the free zone authority.

Step 4: Receive the updated license and documents. Once approved, the authority issues an updated trade license and amended MOA.
