PROCESS FLOW

1

Initial Consultation & Structure Planning

The first step in setting up a DIFC family office involves understanding the family’s wealth structure, governance preferences, and investment objectives.

2

Preparation of Governance & Documentation

A governance framework, family charter, and supporting documentation, such as source-of-wealth declarations, are prepared for submission to DIFC authorities.

3

Office Establishment Requirement

A physical office within the DIFC jurisdiction is secured to meet regulatory substance requirements.

4

Compliance & Registration

The entity is incorporated under the DIFC legal framework and registered with the relevant authorities while ensuring compliance with KYC and AML regulations.

5

Final Approval & Operational Setup

Once approvals are granted, the DIFC family office becomes operational and can begin managing assets, investments, and family wealth strategies.
