What is an Offshore Company Setup?

An offshore company, also known as an offshore corporation or offshore entity, is a business structure registered in a jurisdiction different from where its owners reside or conduct their main operations.

These companies are often used for international business, asset protection, tax efficiency, and confidentiality. Offshore company setup in UAE, in jurisdictions like Ajman Offshore, RAK ICC, and JAFZA Offshore, offers numerous benefits, making them attractive options for global entrepreneurs and investors.

FAQs

What is the difference between a free zone and an offshore company in the UAE?

Free zone companies in the UAE are established within designated areas that offer tax benefits, 100% foreign ownership, and simplified business operations. Offshore companies, on the other hand, are primarily set up for conducting business outside the UAE and are not permitted to trade within the local UAE market.

Who is an offshore company in the UAE suitable for?

Offshore company setup in UAE is ideal for international entrepreneurs, investors, holding companies, trading companies operating outside the UAE, and those seeking asset protection and estate planning solutions.

Can I get a UAE residence visa with an offshore company?

No, a standalone offshore company does not qualify for UAE residence visas. The company is not considered to have a physical presence in the UAE.

Is my information as a shareholder and director kept confidential?

Yes, confidentiality is a key feature. Details of shareholders and directors are not part of any public record. This information is only available to the registered agent and the regulatory authorities of the specific offshore jurisdiction.
