Three kinds of ADGM company
ADGM sorts businesses into financial (banking, wealth management, capital markets, digital assets), non-financial (professional services, corporate structures, technology start-ups) and retail and entertainment. Financial firms need a licence from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).
You choose the legal form: a private company limited by shares, a partnership, a branch of an existing company, a restricted scope company, a foundation or a special purpose vehicle.
What moves your ADGM price
From January 2025 ADGM cut its registration and renewal fees for retail and non-financial companies, and the retail category is now its lowest. Our starting figure is built on it, with our service. A non-financial company sits in a higher fee category, and a regulated firm is priced on its FSRA application.
Every ADGM entity except a special purpose vehicle needs a physical office in the jurisdiction, so the lease is part of your setup, and visas are priced on top.
How an ADGM setup runs
ADGM sets out its own sequence: choose the business activity and legal structure, check the name, secure office space and register the lease, prepare the documents, then submit the application. We run each step and answer the Registration Authority's questions until the licence is issued.
ADGM questions, answered
How much does an ADGM company cost?
From AED 16,047 VAT included for a retail-category company with our service, before the office lease and visas. A non-financial company or an FSRA-regulated firm costs more, and we price it on a call.
Do I need an office in ADGM?
Yes. ADGM requires a physical presence in the jurisdiction for every entity except a special purpose vehicle. We help you choose space that fits the licence and your visa count.
Should I choose ADGM or DIFC?
Both are common-law financial centres with their own courts and regulators. The choice usually comes down to your activity, where your clients and investors are, and budget, and we set the two side by side on a short call.
