What is a Family Office?
A family office is a dedicated structure used to manage a family’s long-term ownership, investments, and governance through a defined decision-making framework. It can be set up as a single-family office or structured to serve multiple families, depending on the model and requirements.
Authority
DIFC and ADGM family wealth frameworks
Two established UAE jurisdictions commonly used for governance-led private wealth structures
RAK ICC offshore structuring option
An offshore route often used for holding companies and ownership structures alongside broader UAE private wealth planning
Governance-led by design
Family offices formalize decision-making, oversight, and continuity through documented roles and controls.
Flexible structuring architecture
Holding companies, Foundations, and SPVs can be layered where appropriate to clarify ownership and separate risk
Licensing awareness where activities require it
If the family office undertakes regulated activities, the structure must align with the relevant licensing and compliance expectations
What We Handle
One team manages the setup file so governance, documentation, and registrations stay consistent from day one.
Family office model and scope
Define the office mandate, services, and operating boundaries based on objectives and asset profile.
Incorporation and registrations
Coordinate submissions and authority requirements through to issuance.
Jurisdiction and entity stack
Recommend DIFC, ADGM, or other UAE routes, plus the right vehicles (holding, Foundation, SPVs) where they add clarity
Ongoing administration support
Support renewals, updates, and governance record-keeping as the structure evolves.
Governance documentation
Coordinate core documents that define roles, controls, decision-making, and long-term continuity.
Banking readiness coordination
Coordinate documentation readiness for onboarding (final approval is bank-dependent).
How It Works
A structured process designed around governance quality, documentation clarity, and long-term readiness.
Who This Is For
For families and principals who want long-term ownership managed with structure, oversight, and continuity.
Family businesses formalizing governance and succession
Principals consolidating multi-asset ownership under a unified structure
International families establishing a UAE governance hub
Investors overseeing holdings across multiple entities
Families planning long-term stewardship and continuity
Groups seeking a professional structure to support multi-generational planning

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a single-family office and a multi-family office?
A single-family office serves one family with a tailored governance model. A multi-family office supports multiple families under one platform, typically with shared infrastructure and defined service parameters.
Do family offices require regulatory licensing in the UAE?
It depends on the activities. Ownership and governance structuring differs from regulated financial services. If regulated activities are involved, licensing and compliance requirements may apply.
Can a family office use holding companies, Foundations, and SPVs together?
Yes. These vehicles are commonly combined to centralize ownership, define governance, and separate assets or liabilities, depending on objectives and jurisdiction rules.
What do you need to recommend the right family office structure?
Your objectives, asset types and locations, ownership profile, governance preferences, and any banking or cross-border requirements.
