Getting a Forex trading license in Dubai
During the past decade the United Arab Emirates has repositioned itself from a regional banking centre into a full-scale global hub for alternative asset classes, and foreign exchange has been one of the fastest-expanding segments inside that transformation. A time-zone bridging Asia and Europe, a sophisticated telecom grid and a deep pool of multilingual talent […]
Fund manager licenses in the UAE
The United Arab Emirates is home to two common-law financial centres that grant internationally recognised fund manager permissions.

DIFC Employee Workplace Savings
For more than four decades the end-of-service gratuity, a single lump sum paid when an employee left, shaped how most private-sector staff in the United Arab Emirates planned for retirement.

ADGM qualified investor funds
Abu Dhabi Global Market opened its doors in 2015 with a promise to marry common-law certainty to Middle-East opportunity, and in under a decade it has become the preferred booking centre for managers who cater to Abu Dhabi family offices, GCC sovereign vehicles and overseas institutions hunting uncorrelated yield. Among the various wrappers on offer, […]
Setup a Nominee company
For privacy-oriented founders, setting up a company in Europe often means balancing legal compliance with confidentiality.
