Creative Zone is pleased to offer bespoke corporate structuring solutions with the sole objective of ensuring seamless succession planning and mitigation of risks in partnership agreements while operating businesses in the UAE and the entire GCC region.
The Companies Law in the UAE requires a company to have a Local Emirati Partner hold at least a certain percentage (usually 51%) of the ownership in the company. This leaves the expatriate business owner lacking full ownership over their assets and lacking full control over the profits of the company. We help eliminate these common challenges faced by expatriate business owners in the UAE and GCC.

Creative Zone offers solutions that enable expatriate busienss owner to gain complete control over the assets and maintain effective management control of the business.
Succession planning has been absolutely essential in the region, even though there has been recent changes in the Commercial Company law, most of the expatriates who can now gain the LLC status require solutions that can enable them to ring-fence and safeguard company assets.
We at Creative Zone understand the importance of succession planning and have experts offering solutions that enable the expatriate to safeguard the company assets.
We provide personalised and bespoke solutions after consultation with you to address your concerns, risks and requirements. In addition, we offer a quick and easy to use digital registration process, with straightforward requirements and transparent pricing.

TRUSTS
A Trust is a legal entity created to secure assets and capital of the expatriate whereby the expatriate appoints a UAE National to act is the capacity of a Trustee via a Holding Structure incorporated within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
Our Risk Mitigation Solution not only secures capital and assets of the expatriates, but also guarantee complete freedom to retain 100% beneficial ownership and decision-making control while staying in compliance with the UAE Laws.

ADGM SPV
Special Purpose Vehicles (SPV) are passive holding companies established for the purpose of isolating financial and legal risk by ring-fencing certain assets and liabilities.
The Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) is an International Financial Free Zone where for the first time Common Law is directly applied in the Middle East. ADGM is overseen by three independent authorities: The Registration Authority, The Financial Services Regulatory Authority and The ADGM Courts.
There are multiple benefits of having the SPV registered in a jurisdiction based on Common Law, such as, similarity to English Courts, being previously tested, having ongoing regulatory development, having a sense of familiarity and being able to take decisions with certainty.

ADGM FOUNDATIONS
A Foundation is an independent legal entity with a distinct personality, separate from its founder with no shareholders or other legal titles of ownership and is governed by its Charter, which is a publicly available document, and By-Laws, which are private to the Foundation. The affairs of an ADGM Foundation are managed by a Foundation Council and may be supervised by a Guardian.

LOCAL PARTNER SERVICES
There can be two options
1) A Corporate Entity - A fully owned by UAE national(s) holds 51% share in your Mainland (DED) Operating LLC to fulfill the requirements of having an Emirati Local Partner as per the UAE Commercial Law. In this type of sponsorship arrangement, the business is sponsored by a company, rather than an individual
2) An Individual sponsorship - A traditional type of local sponsorship in the UAE. A UAE national becomes your Local Emirati Sponsor by holding a 51% share under their personal name in your Mainland (DED) Operating LLC. Whilst the Local Emirati Partner is the main shareholder of the company, he/she would provide a Power of Attorney (POA) to the expatriate business owner.
