As one of the most dynamic free zones in the Middle East, Dubai multi commodity trading center (DMCC) has attracted the attention of global investors with its superior geographical location, loose policy environment and perfect business facilities. Registered DMCC companies need to meet a series of conditions, covering shareholder qualifications, office space, business compliance and other dimensions, the following from the core elements of the detailed description.

free Zone Limited Liability Company (FZ-LLC): This is the most common type of company and is suitable for most SMEs. Shareholders can be natural or legal persons, at least one shareholder and one director are required, and the director can be a foreigner.
Branches: Foreign companies can set up branches in DMCC, and the business scope of the branches should be consistent with that of the parent company. The branch does not have an independent legal personality, and its civil liability is borne by the parent company.
2. Requirements of shareholders and directors
