Although designed to be a diversified financial services hub, ADGM offers numerous non-financial solutions.

The incorporation process is straightforward and transparent, starting with the submission of an online application form and reserving a name. You can learn more about it by clicking here. The incorporation process may be finalized within a few business days.

In terms of Legal Advantages, we cite having no restrictions on foreign ownership, ability to enforce share options and having different classes of shares be issued among others.
