UAE Offshore
UAE offshore companies allow 100% foreign ownership and operate outside local mainland regulations, ideal for international business. They offer tax-free benefits, asset protection, and the ability to open multi-currency bank accounts.
Offshore Companies in UAE
Offshore companies in the UAE are specialized business entities designed to operate outside the jurisdiction of their registration. Popular among global investors, these companies offer low or zero tax benefits, full foreign ownership, and a platform for international trade. Offshore setups are ideal for entrepreneurs looking to manage global operations while enjoying privacy, cost efficiency, and asset protection.
The most common offshore jurisdictions in the UAE are Ras Al Khaimah (RAK) and Jebel Ali Free Zone (JAFZA). Both provide tax-free environments, allow 100% foreign ownership, and enable companies to open multi-currency bank accounts. Unlike mainland or free zone companies, offshore entities cannot conduct business locally in the UAE or maintain physical offices within the country.
Documents Required for Offshore Company Setup
To set up an offshore company in the UAE, you will need copies of passports for all shareholders and stakeholders, along with proof of residence. Bank reference letters, the proposed company name, and details of the business activity are also required. Additionally, you must provide the Memorandum and Articles of Association, as well as the board resolution and hierarchy of beneficiaries to complete the registration process.
