As the UAE strengthens its position as a global hub for family offices and private wealth management, the need for sophisticated governance and succession planning structures continues to grow. Recognising this shift, Consultycs has introduced an integrated Foundation and Variable Capital Company (VCC) structuring solution designed for family businesses, entrepreneurs, and investors.
The solution combines two complementary legal frameworks that serve different strategic objectives. Foundations are commonly used for succession planning, governance, and asset protection, helping families preserve wealth and ensure smooth intergenerational transfer of ownership and responsibilities.
Variable Capital Companies, on the other hand, provide a flexible investment structure that allows investors and family offices to manage portfolios and investment assets efficiently within a regulated environment.
According to the firm, many families and business owners are increasingly seeking solutions that can unify operating businesses, investment assets, and governance frameworks under a single ecosystem. Such an approach can improve transparency, simplify administration, and support long-term continuity.
By integrating both structures, Consultycs aims to offer a more comprehensive approach to wealth preservation and investment management rather than positioning one structure as superior to the other.
Gaurav Marwadi, Managing Director of Consultycs, explained that the key question for clients should not be which structure is better, but which structure aligns best with their objectives, family dynamics, and long-term vision.
He noted that foundations and VCCs are fundamentally different tools designed to solve different challenges. In some situations, a combination of both may create the ideal structure, while in others a simpler arrangement may be more appropriate.
The launch follows the introduction of the DIFC Variable Capital Company regime, which has opened new opportunities for family offices and investors seeking internationally recognised investment structures within the UAE.
With increasing focus on governance, succession planning, and wealth preservation across the region, integrated structures such as the Foundation and VCC model are expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of family business continuity in the Middle East.
