UAE Company Amendments & Ownership Transfers

Cost depends on the type of amendment — a name change is simpler than a full ownership transfer, for example — and which government authority is involved. STRATEX quotes based on your specific amendment once we understand exactly what's changing.

Timeline depends on the amendment type, how many parties are involved, and how quickly signatories can complete the required documentation. STRATEX gives you a realistic estimate once your specific amendment has been scoped.

Requirements vary by amendment type and jurisdiction — some processes allow a power of attorney for shareholders who can't be physically present, while others require in-person signing. STRATEX confirms exactly what's needed for your situation before you plan any travel.

In most cases, yes — adding or amending a business activity is handled as an amendment to your existing license rather than requiring a brand-new company, provided the new activity is compatible with your jurisdiction and structure. STRATEX confirms compatibility before filing.

Existing bank accounts, contracts, and obligations generally continue under the amended company structure, though banks and some counterparties may require notification or updated documentation. STRATEX flags which relationships need updating as part of the amendment process.

No fixed limit — companies amend their licenses repeatedly over their lifetime as ownership, activities, or structure evolve. Each change involves its own documentation and processing, and STRATEX can manage amendments individually or bundle several changes together.
