  "account": "Creation Business Consultants has gained a licensed Company Service Provider status in ADGM, Abu Dhabi's international financial centre. This license, obtained through Creation Business Consultants Ltd, signifies a significant step in the firm's ongoing expansion, bolstering its corporate services offerings across two key UAE financial hubs. The development comes amid robust growth in ADGM, where capital inflows, investment, asset management, and private wealth activities are on the rise. ADGM reported 13,974 active licences by the end of the first half of 2026, with 1,814 new licences issued during the period, and assets under management increasing by 54% year-on-year. Creation is catering to more sophisticated demands from international investors, family offices, businesses, and professional advisers, who are placing greater focus on interests structuring, governance, and administration. The firm already supports a range of ADGM structures and is developing an Abu Dhabi-based team. As an ADGM-licensed Company Service Provider, Creation aids clients with company incorporation, registered office services, ongoing filings, and acts as the primary liaison with ADGM's Registration Authority. This includes managing non-exempt ADGM Special Purpose Vehicles and Foundations, which must appoint ADGM-licensed Company Service Providers. With its existing capabilities in the DIFC, Creation can now advise investors and businesses considering structures in either of the UAE's international financial centres. It can also collaborate with law firms and other professionals to facilitate the implementation of clients' chosen structures and manage ongoing corporate requirements. Clients with interests in multiple jurisdictions can benefit from consistent support through a single advisory relationship. Scott Cairns, Creation Business Consultants' Founder and Managing Director, stated that the ADGM license reflects the firm's dedication to expanding its capabilities to meet the complex needs of international investors, family offices, businesses, and professional advisers. Demand from family offices in Europe and Africa is strong, with clients no longer merely asking where to establish in the UAE but how to structure, govern, and administer their investments, business interests, and private wealth long-term, with Abu Dhabi and ADGM playing a crucial role. Creation's network includes offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Saudi Arabia, along with a presence in Hong Kong and Australia, facilitating international investments into the Middle East. In addition to company formation and corporate services, tax advisory is integrated into Creation's structuring approach, enabling it to assist businesses and investors from initial market entry through ongoing compliance and long-term growth.",
