Tax Corporate Lawyer in Dubai
Bringing an investor into a Dubai company
A founder negotiating a Dubai investment may be selling existing shares, issuing new ones or doing both. LEXPERT helps founders and investors distinguish those transactions in the term sheet and review the tax position against the proposed flow of funds.
Follow the subscription money
Put the owner, company and incoming investor in separate columns. Identify who is paid, who receives shares and which fees each party bears. A headline investment amount can conceal payments to the founder that never reach the operating company.
Agree what happens after closing
Check how a later funding round, deferred payment or founder buyback affects the agreed economics. Record the approvals, dates and valuation evidence for each step so that advisers can review the transaction that the parties expect to implement.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a subscription and a share purchase?
In a subscription the company issues shares and receives the subscription price. In a purchase of existing shares the seller receives the price. A deal may include both legs.
Can a term sheet be reviewed before the valuation is final?
Yes. A draft cap table, proposed price range and payment schedule are enough to flag structural questions that may affect the negotiation.
