Escrow Solutions for Businesses in the UAE

In high-value or cross-border transactions, escrow is a trusted legal tool that protects all parties involved by ensuring that funds or assets are only transferred once agreed conditions are met. As a registered and regulated escrow service provider, Onecentive acts directly as an escrow agent, administering and safeguarding funds or documents with full neutrality and regulatory compliance.

We offer bespoke escrow arrangements tailored to business sales, asset acquisitions, intellectual property transfers, marine and aviation deals, and real estate transactions. Each escrow arrangement is governed by a binding Escrow Agreement, drafted in close consultation with both parties to define the conditions for release, dispute resolution methods, timing, and obligations. Our services are available for both local and international clients transacting in the UAE or involving UAE-based assets.
