HOW CAN I CHOOSE THE BEST JURISDICTION — AIFC, DIFC OR LABUAN — FOR MY BUSINESS?
How long does company registration take?
Each jurisdiction offers unique tax, legal, and regulatory advantages. Metida Group analyses your corporate structure, target markets, and compliance goals to recommend the most efficient jurisdiction — or a combination — for long-term international growth.
Incorporation time depends on the jurisdiction: typically 3–10 working days in AIFC or Labuan, and about 1–2 weeks in DIFC. Metida Group manages the entire registration process, documentation, and regulator communication to ensure a fast and compliant setup.
What documents are required to open a company?
You will need shareholder IDs, business plan, proof of address, and beneficial owner information. Metida Group prepares, translates, and verifies all documentation in line with each jurisdiction’s standards to avoid delays or rejections.
Can a foreign company relocate or open a branch in these centres?
Yes — redomiciliation and branch registration are possible in AIFC and DIFC, and Labuan allows holding or trading entities. Metida Group advises on migration feasibility, legal opinions, and registration steps to transfer or expand your existing entity seamlessly.
WHAT ARE THE TAX BENEFITS?
AIFC offers exemptions on corporate income and capital gains; DIFC has 0% tax on qualifying income; Labuan companies enjoy 3% or 0% tax depending on activity. Metida Group designs compliant tax-efficient structures and ensures ongoing reporting meets local regulations.
Do I need a local office or director?
Each centre has its own rules. AIFC and Labuan require a registered address, while DIFC often expects a physical presence. Metida Group provides registered office solutions, nominee directors, and local administrative support where permitted.
Can Metida.Group help open a bank account?
Yes. We work directly with AIFC, DIFC, and Labuan-licensed banks and global partners to prepare KYC documents, facilitate introductions, and help secure multi-currency corporate accounts.
WHAT ARE THE COMPLIANCE AND ANNUAL REPORTING OBLIGATIONS?
Entities must file annual returns, maintain statutory records, and comply with AML/KYC rules. Metida Group provides full corporate secretarial support — from annual reports and licence renewals to audit coordination and substance compliance.
Can I register investment funds or financial companies through Metida Group?
Yes. We specialise in licensing and structuring regulated entities — from investment funds and asset management firms in AIFC and DIFC to captive insurance or fintech companies in Labuan IBFC.
