What is included in a corporate secretarial retainer?
Typically annual filings, record maintenance, renewals, corporate action coordination and periodic structure reviews, though scope can be tailored.
Staying compliant across UAE jurisdictions means keeping on top of annual filings, record maintenance, renewals and corporate actions, often across several entities at once. BDO UAE provides ongoing corporate secretarial support, plus a retainer model for continuous oversight as regulations and family circumstances change.
What corporate secretarial and retainer services cover
- Annual filings and statutory record maintenance
- Licence and registration renewals across relevant jurisdictions
- Coordination of key corporate actions, such as changes in directors or shareholders
- Ongoing retainer access to support and periodic structure reviews
Why ongoing support matters
Compliance obligations do not stop once an entity is set up, and missed filings or renewals can create unnecessary risk and cost. Our retainer model gives you continuous oversight and access to support, plus periodic structure reviews to stay aligned as regulations and family circumstances change, rather than reacting to deadlines as they arise.
Who this service is for
- Family groups with multiple entities across UAE jurisdictions
- Businesses that want ongoing compliance support rather than one-off filings
- Groups without an in-house company secretarial function
- Families wanting periodic structure reviews built into ongoing support
Our approach
Our qualified company secretaries work under your dedicated client partner, with deep expertise across DIFC, ADGM, UAE mainland and free zone compliance, covering incorporations, renewals, AGMs and filings end to end.
