PROCESS FLOW

1

Initial Consultation and Activity Selection

The first step is identifying the appropriate ADGM license categories based on the financial services activities the company intends to conduct.

2

Regulatory Business Plan Preparation

A comprehensive regulatory business plan is prepared outlining the business model, operational strategy, governance structure, and risk management policies.

3

FSRA Application Submission

The license application is submitted to the Financial Services Regulatory Authority for regulatory review. This is done along with the compliance frameworks and financial projections.

4

Regulatory Review and In-Principle Approval

FSRA evaluates the application and may request additional documents, interviews with key officers, or further clarifications before granting in-principle approval.

5

Final Licensing and Operational Setup

After meeting regulatory conditions, the company receives its license and begins operations under the approved ADGM license categories.
