Dubai Free Zone Launches Two New Business Licenses: SPV & Holding Company

DMCC introduces Special Purpose Vehicle and Holding Company licenses to boost flexibility for businesses and investors in Dubai.  If you’re planning to set up or restructure a company in Dubai, there’s great news.  The Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) has just announced two new license types: the Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) and Holding Company license.  These new business categories are designed to help entrepreneurs, investors, and international firms manage their assets and subsidiaries more efficiently  without the need for physical office space.  This is a major development for firms looking for cost-effective business structuring and streamlined operations in the UAE.

What is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV)?

An SPV is a subsidiary company formed for specific financial purposes like holding assets, isolating risk, or facilitating investment.

Key Benefits of the SPV License in DMCC:

  • No physical office requirement
  • Ideal for startups, investors, and holding investments
  • Streamlined financial reporting

Useful for managing intellectual property or real estate assets

What is a Holding Company?

A Holding Company owns shares in other companies, allowing for centralized control, risk management, and growth through subsidiaries.

Advantages of the Holding Company License:

  • Manage multiple businesses under one entity
  • Centralized reporting and oversight
  • Enhance asset protection
  • Structure international investments more efficiently

Why This Matters for Your Business
