The UAE Companies Law permits the formation of join participation between two or more partners for the purpose of specific projects operating in the UAE.

The primary advantage of using a JV structure is that a joint venture does not need to be formally registered and can therefore be established quickly.

One consideration of entering a joint venture is that it will not always be possible to obtain independent financing. In normal circumstances the joint participation would trade under the name and trade licence of the locally registered partner.

Abu Dhabi Interlink allows the JV arrangement to trade under its own name citing Abu Dhabi Interlink as an associated partner.
