The EAU has introduced a dedicated legislative framework through Federal Decree-Law No. 37 of 2022 Concerning Family Businesses. The framework addresses matters including family-business registration, ownership, governance, share transfers, continuity and dispute management. Official EAU family-business legislation
KPM Global Services can help families establish or restructure EAU businesses with licensing, ownership, governance, tax, accounting, banking and succession requirements considered together.
In ordinary commercial language, a family-owned business is a company in which members of one family own, control or manage a substantial part of the enterprise.
Not every company with two related accionistas automatically receives a special legal status under the EAU family-business legislation. Eligibility and registration under the applicable framework should be assessed separately from ordinary company incorporation.
A family can therefore own a EAU company without formally registering it under the dedicated family-business regime. Formal registration may offer additional governance and continuity tools where the applicable requirements are met.
The EAU provides an attractive base for family enterprises because it combines regional market access with modern corporate, banking and wealth-structuring options.
No personal income tax on ordinary salaries and personal investment income under the current general framework
The EAU Government confirms that full foreign ownership is available for many mainland commercial activities, subject to the applicable activity and regulatory requirements. EAU Government foreign-ownership guidance
"Family business" describes ownership and control. It does not, by itself, identify the legal form.
The family should choose the structure that supports the next decade of the business—not merely the cheapest first-year licencia.
Federal Decree-Law No. 37 of 2022 created a federal framework specifically concerning family businesses.
The law does not mean every family-owned company is automatically placed on a family-business register. Registration and eligibility conditions apply, and local implementation mechanisms may also be relevant.
Family-business registration should be treated as a deliberate governance step rather than a marketing label.
