Zambian entrepreneur in Lusaka, Zambia UAE holding entity formed with clean shareholder structure.
The client had been approached by two Gulf investors interested in the business and wanted to clean up his structure ahead of a funding conversation. His Zambian entity had informal shareholder arrangements that would not survive investor due diligence. He wanted a UAE holding company with clean documentation that could issue shares to investors.
We advised on a UAE free zone holding structure and coordinated with his Lusaka accountant to make sure the shareholder agreements at both levels were consistent. We prepared the UAE MOA with the investor-ready share structure he needed and introduced him to a UAE legal firm for the investment agreements. We also prepared a clean company profile for his investor pitch.
