Corporate Secretarial Support
Speak with an expert
What is Corporate Secretarial Support?
A corporate secretary is responsible for ensuring that a company complies with all statutory and regulatory requirements, maintains proper corporate records, and follows sound governance practices. In jurisdictions like DIFC and ADGM, appointing a company secretary or engaging a corporate secretarial service is either mandatory or strongly recommended.
Even where not legally required, professional corporate secretarial support brings significant value by ensuring timely filings, accurate records, and proper administration of board and shareholder matters. It reduces the risk of penalties, supports good governance, and frees management to focus on business operations.
AB Nexis offers a full suite of corporate secretarial services for companies incorporated in the UAE mainland, free zones, DIFC, ADGM, and offshore jurisdictions.

Why It Matters
Poor corporate governance and missed filings can lead to:
Financial Penalties: Late filing fees and compliance penalties from licensing authorities can accumulate quickly.
License Suspension: Persistent non-compliance may result in your trade license being suspended or not renewed.
Legal Liability: Directors can face personal liability for governance failures in certain jurisdictions.
Reputational Damage: Investors, lenders, and partners conduct due diligence and expect proper governance standards.
Operational Disruption: Missing deadlines for annual returns, share transfers, or director changes can disrupt banking, contracts, and visa processing.
Tailored to Your Jurisdiction
Corporate secretarial requirements differ across UAE jurisdictions:
DIFC: Companies must comply with the DIFC Companies Law, file annual returns with the DIFC Registrar of Companies, and maintain detailed statutory registers.
ADGM: ADGM entities must file annual returns, maintain registers of members and directors, and comply with the ADGM Companies Regulations 2020.
Mainland: Companies must maintain MOA records, comply with the UAE Commercial Companies Law, and manage DET/ADDED filings.
Free Zones: Each free zone authority has its own compliance requirements for annual renewals, reporting, and record-keeping.
AB Nexis provides jurisdiction-specific secretarial support tailored to the regulatory requirements of your entity's registration authority.
