Home / Offshore Company Formation
Hold assets, own shares and invoice internationally through a confidential UAE offshore entity, registered in days with no office requirement.
A UAE offshore company (JAFZA Offshore, RAK ICC or Ajman Offshore) is a non-resident entity used for international business, asset protection and holding structures. It cannot trade inside the UAE or sponsor visas, but it can own shares in UAE and foreign companies, hold approved real estate, open bank accounts and invoice clients worldwide.
Registration is fully handled through Pro24 as your registered agent: name approval, memorandum drafting, shareholder KYC and certificate issuance, usually within 3 to 7 working days, with no requirement to visit the UAE for most structures.
A respected jurisdiction without the stigma of classic tax havens.
Shareholder and director details are not published on any public register.
Own shares in UAE mainland and free zone companies or international subsidiaries under one parent.
JAFZA Offshore companies can hold freehold Dubai real estate in approved areas.
Bill overseas clients and collect payments through a UAE-based corporate bank account.
No office, no visas and no audit requirement for most structures keeps annual costs minimal.
Separate personal wealth from operating-business risk under a stable, treaty-friendly jurisdiction.
JAFZA for Dubai property holding, RAK ICC for flexible international structures, Ajman for lowest cost.
Passport copies, proof of address and bank reference are compiled and the company name reserved.
Memorandum and articles are signed through us as registered agent and the certificate is issued.
We prepare the banking file and introduce you to institutions that accept offshore structures.
A free zone company is a UAE-resident entity that can rent offices, sponsor visas and, within limits, serve the UAE market. An offshore company is non-resident: no visas, no UAE trading, but cheaper to maintain and built for holding and international activity.
Yes, though banks apply stricter compliance to offshore entities. A clear activity description, source-of-funds evidence and the right bank choice matter; we prepare the full file before any application.
No. Offshore entities cannot sponsor visas. If you need residency, we pair the offshore holding company with a free zone operating company that carries your visa.
Yes, when structured with real substance and correctly reported in your home jurisdiction. We advise on economic substance rules and coordinate with your tax adviser where cross-border reporting applies.
Tell us your goal, holding, property or international trade, and we will recommend the right jurisdiction with a fixed quote.
