Creative Zone by Encor, a leading business setup and corporate services firm in the UAE, has achieved a significant milestone by being appointed as a Registered Corporate Service Provider (CSP) in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This development strengthens the firm’s position in the UAE’s financial landscape, enabling it to support global clients in structuring and safeguarding their assets within one of the world’s most robust financial jurisdictions. DIFC, renowned as the premier financial hub for the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia, has experienced record-breaking growth in recent years. In 2024, it reported revenues of Dh1.78 billion ($484 million), a 37% year-on-year increase, while operating profits surged by 55%. The number of registered companies in DIFC surpassed 6,900 in 2024, marking a 25% rise compared to 2023, and by mid-2025, this figure accelerated to approximately 7,700 active companies. The Centre’s appeal extends beyond numbers, with hedge funds increasing from 50 to 85 in the past year—a 72% growth—and wealth and asset management firms recording nearly 20% expansion. This growth underscores DIFC’s reputation for regulatory certainty, a common-law framework, and its status as a trusted global hub for capital flows and institutional investors. As a CSP, Creative Zone by Encor is now equipped to assist clients—including family offices, wealth managers, entrepreneurs, and international firms—in establishing Foundations, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs), holding companies, and operational entities. The firm will also provide regulatory clarity, legal protection, and access to its registered office address in DIFC. Lorenzo Jooris, CEO of Creative Zone by Encor, highlighted the significance of this achievement, stating that it allows the firm to guide clients in leveraging DIFC’s strengths for asset protection and growth. Pratik Rawal, Group Head of Strategy and Global Expansion, emphasized DIFC’s remarkable trajectory and Creative Zone by Encor’s ability to help clients transform international ambitions into regulated structures. This milestone also extends the benefits of DIFC’s framework to Creative Zone by Encor’s global network through Encor, enabling families and businesses worldwide to access wealth structuring, legacy planning, and sustainable growth opportunities.
