The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) found that HAYMAN-WOODWARD had breached Article (1) of the Regulatory #2004.



Under this law, a business classified as a Designated Non-Financial Business or Profession (DNFBP) cannot carry out certain activities in or from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) without registering with the DFSA.



Although Hayman-Woodward held a consultancy licence, it also helped clients set up companies and provided registered office and business addresses. These services fall under the category of a company service provider (CSP).

The company also had agreements with three outside the DIFC to help clients establish businesses. One of these agreements specifically described Hayman-Woodward as a DNFBP.

It was announced on 7 October 2026 as part of the UAE Year of the Family. For participants whose sales start to climb, the next question is regulatory: which licence applies, such as Tajer Abu Dhabi, and when VAT and Corporate Tax begin.

Growth in the capital has not stopped. It has slowed, and one category is racing ahead of everything else. ADRA Abu Dhabi reported on 8 October 2026 that new economic licenses issued in H1 2026 rose 5% against the same period in 2025, while freelancer licenses surged 224%.

The Abu Dhabi Registration Authority (ADRA) is the arm of the Abu Dhabi Department of Economic Development (ADDED) that develops and regulates the business sector, so its figures show what founders are really doing. Planning Abu Dhabi mainland company formation? The numbers matter. So does the tax clock that starts once you are licensed.
