The Abu Dhabi Global Market Registration Authority proposes a new regulatory framework to require certain Special Purpose Vehicles and foundations to appoint an ADGM-based Company Service Provider. The proposal introduces a new controlled activity for providing company services, imposes fit-and-proper and capital requirements on CSPs, and mandates compliance with client money rules. Implementation includes a transition period for existing entities and licensed providers to adapt to these enhanced regulatory obligations.
