A Broader Holding Opportunity in DIFC
DIFC has proposed amendments to its Prescribed Company Regulations that would remove the remaining qualifying applicant, qualifying purpose, and nexus-based eligibility requirements, opening the regime to a broader range of international investors, family offices, and businesses.
The proposed framework would also strengthen the role of Corporate Service Providers, with non-exempt Prescribed Companies required to appoint a CSP as their primary administrative and compliance interface with the DIFC Registrar of Companies.
As an official DIFC Registered Corporate Service Provider, Creative Zone can support your Prescribed Company with structuring, ongoing administration, and registered office requirements.
