UAE Offshore Company Formation
Establish your offshore entity in the UAE with zero corporate tax, full asset protection, and complete confidentiality — ideal for international businesses and investors.
What Is a UAE Offshore Company?
A UAE offshore company is a legal entity registered in a designated offshore jurisdiction within the UAE — primarily RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) and JAFZA Offshore in Dubai. These entities are designed for international business operations, asset holding, and investment management.
Unlike mainland or free zone companies, offshore entities do not require physical office space in the UAE, cannot conduct business within the UAE territory, and offer enhanced privacy protections for shareholders and directors.
