Compliance Expertise for Every UAE Business

Stay compliant with UAE regulatory standards and local authorities. G12 shields your business from penalties and operational setbacks by delivering comprehensive compliance services.

What is Corporate Compliance & Regulatory Governance?

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.

Our Compliance Capabilities

We divide our compliance support into four critical areas: financial crime prevention, corporate transparency, legal structuring, and asset protection.

AML Compliance Services

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.

UBO Notification

Ultimate Beneficial Owner (Real Beneficiary) Declaration
All 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.

Business Structuring Service

Corporate Entity Optimization & Asset Protection
Correct 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.

Trademark Registration

Intellectual Property and Brand Protection
Protecting 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.

The Critical Importance of Compliance

Maintaining a compliant status is not optional; it is a prerequisite for banking and licensing.

Avoiding Administrative Penalties: Fines for non-compliance with AML and UBO regulations can range from AED 50,000 to AED 5,000,000.
Banking Continuity: Financial institutions periodically review client files. Lack of compliance documentation leads to account freezes and transaction blocks.
License Renewal: Authorities often block trade license renewals for entities with outstanding compliance notifications or an undefined UBO status.
Reputation Management: Being flagged for non-compliance damages credibility with international partners and investors.
