Q: How to withdraw a partnership of a signatory person from a company? What are the steps taken to remove legally?

Q: Hi, I want to get advice on what I should do with a company based in Dubai, which is not adding me as a partner even after payment of 100% my share money. I have even paid double by investing all my salaries of 16 months. I am out of the UAE now. Please advise. Many thanks.

Q: Before 2 years, I gave a loan to the owner of an advertising company. He was getting an order of advertising on a 2-3 month credit basis. However, he did not have the cash amount to pay the suppliers; hence, I gave him a loan against a share of transaction profit. Against my cash cheque, he was giving me 2-3 month post-dated cheque for the amount value of cash paid + the profit. Things went well until the very last cheque bounced with an amount value of AED 80,000. Further, I gave the same owner but under a different company (gym business) AED 100,000 to purchase new gym equipment. He gives me rent of 3K per month until 6 months and after that, he pays me 114K to own the gym equipment. Only 2 x 3K cheque cleared but the rest bounced. Now, I'm left with 80K cheque from the advertising company, 3 x 3K from the gym company, 100K from the gym company, 14K from the gym company. Can I legally proceed and successfully get my money back? What are the procedures and how much will it cost? Thanks

Over the years the UAE has become a centre of trade and commerce for the Middle East, thanks to its strategic location, excellent connectivity and extensive services to assist with all aspects of business. According to the World Bank's 2016 report, the UAE has ranked 31st in the global index of ease of doing business. This encourages more entrepreneurs to set up different kinds of business entities in the country.
