OVERVIEW

The declaration that proves you know your own company.

Every UAE company must maintain a register of its Real Beneficiaries and file updates when shareholdings change. We take your share register, lay out a clean ownership diagram, and file the declarations with the correct authority — whether DED, ADDED, or a free zone registry.

  • First-time register

    Real Beneficiary, Partners, and Nominee registers drafted and signed.

  • Authority filing

    Portal submission to the correct authority with tracked acknowledgement.

  • Ownership diagram

    Tiered ownership chart prepared for audit and banking use.

  • Refresh cadence

    Calendar reminders for annual refresh and change-of-control filings.

Common questions.

  • What happens if I miss a filing?

    Authorities impose escalating fines and may suspend the trade licence. We have successfully resolved late-filing penalties through voluntary disclosure where appropriate.

  • Do I need to update when a shareholder changes?

    Yes. Any change in share ownership, directors, or real beneficiaries must be filed within fifteen days. We treat change-of-control as a standard part of our engagement.

  • Is this the same as the FATCA / CRS filing?

    No. UBO is a domestic UAE register. FATCA and CRS are separate bank-facing filings. Both can be coordinated with us.
