5 Common Mistakes Startups Make When Setting Up in ADGM
The most common (and avoidable) mistakes founders make when registering their company in ADGM.

A breakdown of ADGM virtual office pricing, what's included at each tier, and how to choose the right package for your company registration needs.
A virtual office in ADGM gives your company a registered business address without the cost of a full-time physical office — required for most ADGM licence categories.
What's included in an ADGM virtual office
At Aegis Coworking, our virtual office packages are structured in three tiers:
Basic — A Category 1 business address inside Addax Tower for your ADGM licence application, mail receiving and forwarding, and your company name listed on our on-site directory.
Premium — Everything in Basic, plus a dedicated UAE phone number with live call answering, 5 hours of meeting room credits per month, and priority mail handling.
Enterprise — Everything in Premium, plus 10 hours of meeting room credits, a dedicated account manager, priority administrative and PRO support, and flexible coworking floor access.
Do you need a physical office instead?
No. ADGM accepts a registered virtual office address for most licence categories, as long as it includes mail handling and a valid business address inside ADGM.
Can you upgrade later?
Yes — you can convert to a dedicated desk or private office at Addax Tower at any time at preferential rates as your business grows.
If you're setting up in ADGM and want a registered address without committing to a full lease, a virtual office is typically the fastest and most cost-effective way to get compliant.
