FAQs
What is a DIFC Prescribed Company (SPV)?
A Prescribed Company is a passive corporate vehicle established in the DIFC specifically to hold assets, manage investments, or execute structured financing without conducting active commercial operations.
Who can set up a Prescribed Company in the DIFC?
Following the 2026 amendments, any natural or legal person globally can establish a Prescribed Company, provided they appoint a DIFC-licensed Corporate Service Provider (CSP) or qualify as an Exempt PC.
What is the role of a Corporate Service Provider (CSP) for a Prescribed Company?
Unless exempt, the SPV must appoint a DIFC-licensed CSP to provide the registered office address and act as the primary administrative and compliance liaison with the DIFC Registrar.
Can a DIFC Prescribed Company employ staff or rent physical office space?
No. Prescribed Companies are legally restricted from employing staff or conducting operational commercial activities, and they must utilize their appointed CSP or an affiliate for their registered address.
