Get to know ADGM.

Explain the intended services, customers and company structure before selecting an application route.
Review the applicable framework
Identify the relevant registration and, where applicable, regulatory requirements for the business.
Prepare a focused proposal

Your questions,
answered.

How do I decide whether ADGM fits my business?

Start with the activity you intend to carry out, the facilities you need and your staffing plans. We can help compare those requirements with the authority’s available setup route.

What should my setup proposal include?

Ask for the licence, registration support, workspace, residency requirements and any additional services to be identified. Review renewal and other ongoing items alongside the initial setup costs.

Can Positive Zone help after company formation?
