Abu Dhabi ADGM Company Registration Information

ADGM's material requirements reflect the "risk-oriented logic"-seemingly more cumbersome than Cayman, but in fact, the compliance review is pre-empted, and many cases complete the pre-approval of bank account opening at the preliminary examination stage.

1. Company Name: Prepare 2 to 3 alternative names, ending with "Limited" or "Ltd", and submit them to ADGM Registration Bureau for pre-examination to ensure that there are no restricted words or sensitive terms. The review can be completed within 1 day.

2. Company type selection: ADGM provides a variety of structures-Private Company Limited by Shares(Ltd) is the most common, suitable for holding, asset management, financial technology enterprises; LLP is suitable for law firms, consulting and other professional institutions; SPV is specially designed for asset isolation and equity holding. Branch allows overseas parent companies to set up branches.

3. Materials for shareholders and directors: photocopies of passports of all shareholders and directors, proof of address for the past three months (water and electricity bills or bank statements), and resumes. If the shareholder is a company, it is also required to provide a business license, articles of association and resolutions of the board of directors. At least one director, who may coincide with a shareholder, is without nationality restrictions.

4, the articles of association (MOA): clear company name, business scope, shareholder information and capital contribution ratio, need to be signed by shareholders, and notarized in the notary office.

5. Business Feasibility Report: This is the key difference between ADGM and Cayman-a business plan with a description of the source of funds must be submitted, as well as an anti-money laundering risk assessment form.

6. Registered Address: You need to have a physical office address in the ADGM area or obtain virtual office services through a designated agency, and submit a lease contract or pre-approval documents.

7. Local Service Provider Agreements: ADGM requires non-resident businesses to appoint a local licensed representative, who has the authority to sign off on legal instruments and can be held by a licensed service provider.

8. Notarization and certification: Passports and other documents of non-UAE residents need to be notarized by their own countries, certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and UAE embassies and consulates, and in some cases, bank credit certificates are also required. All documents need to be translated into Arabic.
