Articles of Association of a One Person Company are essential founding documents required when establishing a solely-owned limited liability company in the United Arab Emirates. This document became particularly relevant following the introduction of Federal Decree-Law No. 32 of 2021, which formally recognized and regulated One Person Companies in the UAE. The document is required during the company formation process and must be submitted to the Department of Economic Development in the relevant Emirate. It contains critical information about the company's structure, including details of the sole shareholder, capital requirements, management framework, and business activities. The Articles serve as both a regulatory compliance document and a governance framework, establishing the rules and procedures for company operations in accordance with UAE law.
