Frequently Asked Questions
Can a foreign owner establish a company in ADGM?
ADGM offers foreign ownership options. The appropriate structure and permitted activities depend on the proposed business and applicable requirements.
Does every entity need a dedicated physical office?
Many operating entities require physical office space. SPVs and Foundations may use registered-office arrangements without a dedicated operating office, subject to applicable rules and service-provider requirements.
Does KULM register the company directly?
Company registration is delivered through specialist partners. KULM coordinates your requirements and the office workstream alongside the agreed partner-led setup process.
What does the AED 800,000 budget cover?
The indicative annual starting budget for premium office solutions. Inclusions, VAT and additional charges are confirmed in your proposal. Formation, government and professional fees are separate.
Do financial services require FSRA approval?
Regulated financial activities require the relevant FSRA authorisation. Company registration alone does not authorise financial services.
How long does setup take?
A tailored timeline follows an initial assessment. Timing depends on the structure, activity, ownership, documentation, approvals and office readiness.
Can I review offices before incorporation?
You can discuss requirements and review options during setup. Lease commitments and required documents should be coordinated with the provider and registration partner.
Are the offices shown actual available properties?
The page uses concept imagery, not confirmed listings. Relevant proposals will include verified property information, actual photographs and floor plans where available.
