What Is an Offshore Company in the UAE?
A UAE offshore company is a legal business entity registered under an offshore jurisdiction — such as Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC), Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA Offshore), or Ajman Offshore. These companies are designed for international operations and cannot conduct local business within the UAE.
An offshore company allows investors and entrepreneurs to manage global assets, hold shares, conduct international trade, and optimize tax planning — without requiring a physical office or local employees. It’s an excellent structure for global entrepreneurs who value financial privacy, tax efficiency, and asset protection.
Key Characteristics of UAE Offshore Companies:
✅ Registered in the UAE but operate internationally
✅ 100% foreign ownership with no local sponsor
✅ No physical office requirement
✅ 0% corporate and income tax
✅ Full confidentiality of company ownership and financials
✅ Ability to open international and UAE-based corporate bank accounts
