ADGM has a distinct framework for establishing and operating businesses. An application should begin with the nature of the proposed business and the relevant registration or regulatory route. It deserves a separate assessment from a general free zone licence comparison.
Plan your setup in ADGM
- Describe the proposed business
- 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
- Review premises, documentation and ongoing administration alongside the initial formation work.

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.
