Abu Dhabi has rapidly evolved into a strategic hub for industrial growth, logistics, and advanced manufacturing. With the UAE Industrial Strategy gaining momentum, the capital offers unique advantages for businesses ready to scale.
The UAE Industrial Strategy aims to increase the contribution of the industrial sector to national GDP while strengthening supply chains and innovation. Abu Dhabi sits at the center of this transformation. For startups and SMEs, forming an Abu Dhabi LLC provides direct access to incentives, infrastructure, and long-term growth opportunities. Gatestone Group specializes in structuring Abu Dhabi LLCs that align with this national vision.

Abu Dhabi offers:
- World-class industrial zones such as ICAD and KIZAD

Why an LLC Structure Matters
An LLC structure provides flexibility, credibility, and scalability. It allows startups and SMEs to:
- Operate across the UAE without trading restrictions
- Engage in government and semi-government projects
- Secure stronger banking relationships
- Attract regional and international partners
Gatestone Group advises clients on structuring LLCs that meet operational needs while remaining compliant with ownership and governance requirements.
Tax and Regulatory Alignment for 2026
As corporate tax regulations mature, proper structuring becomes critical. Abu Dhabi LLCs must ensure accurate tax registration, bookkeeping, and reporting under Federal Tax Authority guidelines.
Gatestone Group integrates tax advisory into the formation process, helping businesses avoid costly restructuring later.
From Licensing to Long-Term Strategy
Setting up an Abu Dhabi LLC is not just about obtaining a license. It is about aligning your business model with the UAE’s industrial priorities. Gatestone Group supports clients with:
- License selection and approvals
- Corporate structuring and governance
- Accounting, VAT, and corporate tax compliance
- Ongoing advisory as the business scales
