Can I add a partner to my Uzbek LLC later?

Short answer

Yes — sell them part of your share, or admit them with a fresh contribution.

SellPart of your share changes hands — written form, the register entry, and the money is yours; the company’s capital is untouched (LLC Law, Art. 21 — lex.uz ↗)
AdmitThey contribute into the company — the capital increases by their contribution; the decision is unanimous, and the charter must not forbid third-party entry (LLC Law, Art. 19 — lex.uz ↗)
BothDilution differs — a sale moves your percentage to them; an admission recalculates everyone against the larger capital
PaperEither route ends at the registrar — the changed shares and charter figures take effect on state registration (LLC Law, Arts. 19, 21 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

The two mechanics answer different intents. Selling part of a share is the shareholder’s own deal: simple written form unless the charter demands a notary, effect from the register entry — and the price is paid to the seller, not the company. Admitting an investor is the company’s deal: the general meeting unanimously accepts the application, sets the contribution against the share it buys, and registers the increase; the money lands in the company as capital. (LLC Law, Arts. 19, 21 — lex.uz ↗)

Guardrails apply either way — the charter can forbid third parties or demand consents, other shareholders hold preemption on sales, a new shareholder’s in-kind contribution follows the valuation rules — and once a second shareholder exists, a foundation agreement must be concluded and the sole-shareholder shortcuts end. (LLC Law, Arts. 12, 16, 21 — lex.uz ↗)
