Family Office Setup in Dubai and UAE
When a family's wealth spans businesses, properties, investments, and generations, it needs a place where decisions are made, records are kept, and the long-term vision is protected. A family office is that place. Wealth Tellers designs it around your family's size, assets, and ambitions, sets it up in the right jurisdiction, and helps it run smoothly for years to come.

Choosing Your Model
Single Family Office
A dedicated office serving one family only, giving you complete control, privacy, and a service built entirely around your needs. In the DIFC and ADGM, a single family office that serves one family generally doesn’t need a financial services license, though minimum family net assets apply.
Multi-Family Office
A shared office serving several families, spreading costs while still offering professional management and governance. Because it serves more than one family, it requires regulatory authorization for the financial services it provides.
Choosing Your Base
DIFC
A family office in Dubai’s international financial center offers a dedicated framework under English common law, alongside foundations and prescribed companies that work seamlessly with it. It suits larger families with significant assets, as a DIFC single family office requires at least USD 50 million in family net assets.
ADGM
Abu Dhabi’s financial center provides its own single family office regime, also based on English common law, with a lower net asset threshold than the DIFC. It‘s a strong choice for families who want a common law base with a lighter entry point.
Free Zone Company with a Family Holding Structure
For families below the financial center thresholds, or who prefer a simpler setup, a free zone company combined with a foundation or holding company can deliver many family office benefits at a lower cost.
Family Governance
The most successful family offices are built on clear rules that everyone understands.
We help you put the right framework in place, so decisions stay fair, transparent, and true to your family's values.
Family Charter
Your shared vision, values, and rules for ownership, roles, and decision-making
Family Council
A forum for family members to discuss priorities and resolve differences constructively
Investment Policy
Agreed guidelines for how the family’s wealth is invested and monitored
