What founding documents does an Uzbek LLC need?

Short answer

A charter — plus a foundation agreement once there are two or more founders.

CharterThe registered constitution — name, activity, address, the bodies and their powers, the capital, each share’s size and nominal value, the exit and transfer procedures (LLC Law, Art. 14 — lex.uz ↗)
AgreementThe foundation agreement — required from two founders up; it is not registered with the state (LLC Law, Arts. 12–13 — lex.uz ↗)
Sole founderCharter only — a single founder approves the charter alone; the agreement appears when a second shareholder does (LLC Law, Art. 12 — lex.uz ↗)
UnanimousThe founding decisions — approving the charter and valuing in-kind contributions take all founders together (LLC Law, Art. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
ConflictThe charter prevails — where the two documents disagree, the charter governs for shareholders and third parties alike (LLC Law, Art. 12 — lex.uz ↗)
What the law provides

The founding documents are the foundation agreement and the charter; a company founded by one person has only the charter, and the agreement must be concluded when the shareholders reach two or more. The charter’s mandatory contents are listed by the law — from the name and postal address through the bodies and their powers to the size and nominal value of every share, the consequences of exit and the procedure for transferring a share. The charter and its changes are state-registered and bind third parties from registration; the foundation agreement is not registered at all. (LLC Law, Arts. 12–14 — lex.uz ↗)

At founding, two decisions are unanimous by law: approving the charter, and confirming the money valuation of any non-money contributions. Founders answer jointly for obligations taken on before registration — the company adopts them only if the general meeting later approves. (LLC Law, Art. 11 — lex.uz ↗)
