From one to fifty. Above fifty, a year to become a JSC — or face liquidation.
An Uzbek LLC is founded by one to fifty persons — individuals or legal entities, in any mix. A single founder is expressly allowed, from the start or by the shareholders later reducing to one. If the number of shareholders exceeds fifty, the company has one year to transform into a joint-stock company or a production cooperative; failing that, it is liquidated through court on the application of the registration authority. (LLC Law, Art. 8 — lex.uz ↗)
One structural rule matters to holding chains: a company consisting of one person cannot be the sole shareholder of another company — except where that sole shareholder is a joint-stock company with a single shareholder. A single-member foreign LLC founding a wholly-owned Uzbek subsidiary sits inside this rule and plans the structure around it. (LLC Law, Art. 8 — lex.uz ↗)
