In Kuwait, it is called WLL In Kuwait, a limited liability company is referred to as "WLL." The same is true in Bahrain and the Emirates. It is weird but true. Here is an official reference:

llc ... wll llc mean limited liability company
wll mean with limited liability

zal meem meem = wll

but actually wll has almost the same meaning as llc, after all the word"company" is understood even if not mentioned, and so does the word "with", what is important is "limited liability"

Is it LLC?

its "zal", not "dal"

so the three letters means " limited" ==>ltd
