Memorandum of Association (MOA)

A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a foundational legal document required for company formation in the UAE. It outlines the company’s structure, operational scope, ownership details, capital investment, and the responsibilities of shareholders. The MOA plays a critical role in defining the legal identity and authority of a business.
