Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

kb-corporate-law-uae-sboghossian scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 19d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Knowledge Pack — UAE Corporate Law

Scope

This pack covers the UAE corporate law framework, including mainland (onshore) and free-zone entity structures. The UAE has one of the most complex corporate law landscapes in MENA: 40+ free zones each with their own regulations, plus a federal mainland law, plus two common-law free zones (DIFC and ADGM) with their own legislation. This pack is the primary reference for:

  • Choosing between mainland and free zone
  • Entity type selection
  • 100% foreign ownership rules
  • Incorporation procedures
  • Free zone selection (DIFC vs ADGM vs DMCC vs others)
  • Beneficial ownership and economic substance
  • UAE Corporate Tax (9%)
  • Governance and annual obligations

Primary legislation

Statute Scope
Federal Decree-Law 32/2021 (Commercial Companies Law) Onshore mainland companies; replaced 2015 law
Cabinet Decision 55/2021 Strategic sectors list — restricted foreign ownership
Federal Decree-Law 47/2022 (Corporate Tax Law) 9% UAE corporate tax; applies to all UAE entities
Cabinet Decision 31/2019 + 57/2020 Economic Substance Regulations
Cabinet Decision 58/2020 (UBO) Beneficial ownership register requirements
DIFC Laws DIFC entity types; DIFC common-law regime
ADGM Regulations ADGM entity types; ADGM common-law regime
Free zone-specific rules Each free zone has its own regulations

Mainland (onshore) entity types

LLC (Sharikat Dhat Mas'uliyya Mahduda)

The most common form for onshore mainland activities.

Key features:

  • Minimum shareholders: 1 (single-member LLC permitted)
  • Maximum shareholders: 50
  • Minimum capital: No federal minimum (DED/emirate-specific requirements may apply)
  • Management: Manager(s) — appointed by shareholders; can be foreign nationals
  • 100% foreign ownership: permitted since June 2021 for most activities under Federal Decree-Law 32/2021
  • Strategic sectors exception: certain activities reserved for UAE nationals or requiring UAE majority (Cabinet Decision 55/2021 list — oil/gas, banking core activities, some media, military)
  • Shareholding record: registered; "quota" transfers require notarial deed + DED registration

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
