What is Special Purpose Vehicle(SPV)?

SPVs are corporate vehicles, typically private companies, established for the purpose of isolating financial and legal risk by ring-fencing assets and liabilities. SPVs can be established as subsidiaries, project or joint venture vehicles to ensure that only those assets related to a transaction are exposed to the liabilities associated with that transaction. As the key feature of an SPV is its separate legal personality, claims by the SPV’s creditors cannot attach to the assets of the SPV’s shareholders or any of its sister companies.

Some of the basic documents required to set up SPV in ADGM are:

• Application forms
• Passport, visa & emirates ID copy of sharehoder(s)/director(s)/manager
• NOC from current sponsor for shareholder(s)/director(s)/manager (applicable if holding UAE residence visa) 
• CV of shareholder(s)/director(s)/manager
• Copy of lease agreement or signed consent letter for provision of Registered office 
• Specimen signature form & passport size photo for shareholder(s)/director(s)/manager
• Business Plan
• NOC from external departments (if any)

ADGM licensing fee for SPV is US$ 1,600/- in addition to the cost of rentals & agent fees.
