I am planning to start my business in retail. I am a 16-year-old Emirati national and I have full approval from my parents. What legal requirements must I obtain and what laws should I follow?

If I am looking to use the general trading license of an existing individual to start my business and creating my company under his license, then what are the things I should watch out for to protect myself?

How to register a sole trader? What documents are needed?

I am seeking a law firm/agency in Dubai that can provide the services to draft a Merchant Agreement template contractually, according to our company business model.

My company is located in Dubai as an LLC. We have two shareholders, 1. UAE national shareholder with 95% 2. A foreign shareholder with 5% The UAE national shareholder transferred this 5% shares to the foreign shareholder through a share sales agreement, which was notarized at the notary public in Dubai and submitted it to the DED to amend the trade license etc. This happened in 2014. But till this date, the foreign shareholder did not pay the value of 5% shares to the UAE national shareholder or to the company. Also, the foreign shareholder was not actively involved with the company's operation and as per Article 17 of the Commercial Companies Law: "2. The partner may not contribute in work rendered unless he is a joint partner. The contribution of the partner may not consist of his having reputation or influence." Under these circumstances, is it possible for the UAE national shareholder to request from the court to cancel the 5% shares of the foreign shareholder and transfer back to him?
