Single Family Office (SFO) licences are available in several free zones including DIFC, ADGM, DMCC, and IFZA. SFOs are generally required to demonstrate economic substance in the UAE and comply with applicable regulatory frameworks.

Frequently Asked Questions

1.What is a family office in Dubai?

A family office in Dubai is a dedicated structure for managing a family's wealth, assets, andlong-term planning. For many private clients, it is a preferred way to centralise and preserve family wealth in a UAE vehicle. The assets and wealth can be located outside the UAE. A typical private client has multiple assets and wealth in several jurisdictions. Therefore, the UAE is ideal for allocation because of its extensive double tax treaty network, well-regulated environment and free zone infrastructure.

A Single Family Office licence allows one family to run its own dedicated office in a UAE free zone. Several free zones now offer this possibility.
