Corporate compliance is the strict alignment of your business operations with UAE Federal Laws and the Ministry of Economy (MoE) decrees. It is a mandatory operational requirement, not just a legal formality. Navigating these evolving regulatory standards is essential to avoid administrative penalties, bank account freezes, and license suspensions. G12 conducts thorough regulatory health checks to ensure your governance frameworks meet all statutory obligations before authorities intervene.
We divide our compliance support into four critical areas: financial crime prevention, corporate transparency, legal structuring, and asset protection.
Anti-Money Laundering Frameworks for DNFBPs
Designated Non-Financial Businesses and Professions (DNFBPs) must adhere to strict AML laws. We assist in registering with the goAML portal, drafting internal risk policies, and conducting the mandatory AML audits required by the Ministry of Economy to avoid sanctions.
Ultimate Beneficial Owner (Real Beneficiary) DeclarationAll mainland and free zone entities must declare their Ultimate Beneficial Owners (UBO) to the licensing authorities. G12 prepares and files the Real Beneficiary Register (RBR) and Partners Register to satisfy Cabinet Decision No. (58) of 2020.
Corporate Entity Optimization & Asset ProtectionCorrect corporate structuring is vital for liability management and tax efficiency. We advise on establishing Holding Companies, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), and Foundations to protect assets and define clear ownership hierarchies.
Intellectual Property and Brand ProtectionProtecting your brand identity prevents market infringement. We handle the search, filing, and registration of trademarks with the UAE Ministry of Economy to grant you exclusive legal rights over your logo and trade name.
Maintaining a compliant status is not optional; it is a prerequisite for banking and licensing.
