Choose your path
Offshore.
A structure for your global plans.
Explore an international holding or business structure, with a clear view of its purpose, limitations and ongoing obligations.
Understand the structure
An informed choice.
A defined purpose.
An offshore company is a distinct option alongside Mainland and Free Zone. It may be considered for international business, investment holding or ownership structures, subject to the chosen registry’s permitted activities.
Suitability starts with your intended use, ownership, banking needs and where business will take place. We help you compare the route and identify the professional and registered-agent support required.
Offshore incorporation does not itself grant a UAE operating licence or residence visa. Banking, tax treatment and any asset-holding permissions require a separate review for the proposed structure.
Before you decide
Four checks before incorporation.
Registry & registered agent
Review current registrar requirements. Jafza offshore registration must be processed through a Jafza Registered Agent; any required agent appointment is confirmed separately.
Ownership & bank readiness
Identify shareholders and beneficial owners, prepare supporting documents and assess the bank’s information requirements. Account approval stays with the bank.
Annual obligations
Review renewal, record-keeping and relevant tax or reporting obligations with appropriate advisers. No blanket tax exemption is assumed.
Your route forward
Start with the right questions.
Tell us what the entity will hold or do, the countries involved, shareholder details and whether you need UAE operations or residency. We will explain which route should be assessed and what further advice may be needed.
Discuss an offshore structureRegistration, banking and other outcomes depend on the registry, appointed professionals and your circumstances. Scope, fees and requirements are confirmed in writing before commitment.
