Whether you’re a founder protecting a growing business, a family managing generational wealth, or an investor structuring for tax efficiency — PRF builds holding structures and trust arrangements that protect assets, plan for succession, and work across borders.
PRF advises on structures that serve a real purpose — asset protection, tax efficiency, succession and governance. We don’t overcomplicate. We make your structure work for your life.
A UAE holding company (DIFC, ADGM or mainland) can hold shares in operating companies, real estate, and international investments — with tax efficiency and asset separation built in.
Trusts separate legal and beneficial ownership — protecting assets from creditors, simplifying succession and enabling structured wealth transfer across generations.
For UAE residents with assets or operations in multiple countries, PRF designs integrated structures that reduce tax friction and manage regulatory obligations across jurisdictions.
Restructure before a fundraise or exit. Holding structures allow founders to extract dividends tax-efficiently and hold shares through a protected entity.
Families with significant assets in the UAE and offshore need structures that prevent fragmentation, protect against future disputes, and ensure orderly succession.
Multiple operating companies under one owner? A central holding structure simplifies reporting, enables inter-company dividend flows and improves tax positioning.
International investors establishing UAE operations need structures that work with their home country tax obligations — not against them.
Structuring advice is only as good as the tax knowledge behind it. PRF’s structuring team combines company law, trust law and UAE corporate tax expertise in one place — meaning structures that look good on paper also hold up under FTA scrutiny.
All engagements are handled with complete discretion. PRF does not discuss client structures or details outside of confidential advisory relationships.

A UAE holding company separates your operating business from your personal assets and can hold shares, IP, real estate or investments. It enables dividend flows, simplifies ownership transfers and can be structured to benefit from the UAE’s participation exemption on qualifying dividends and capital gains. DIFC and ADGM are popular choices for international-facing structures.
A trust separates legal ownership (the trustee’s) from beneficial ownership (yours), which provides asset protection, simplifies succession and can prevent forced inheritance rules from applying. DIFC-registered trusts are widely used by UAE residents and are recognised internationally.
Accounting records what has happened. Structuring determines how your business and wealth are organised before transactions occur. PRF’s structuring advice combines company law, trust law, UAE corporate tax (CIT) and international tax considerations to build arrangements that are efficient, compliant and sustainable.
Not at all. Holding structures are relevant for any business owner with two or more entities, significant retained profit, or assets they want to protect. Trusts are relevant once your personal net worth or business value reaches a point where succession and protection planning makes financial sense. PRF advises on what is proportionate for your situation.
