How to setup your offshore company in UAE


By setting up offshore companies in Dubai, one can have the potential to reach over a billion people from neighbouring countries in the Middle-East, Eastern Europe, Africa, and West Asia. However, there is a lot of legal paperwork that needs to be turned in.

Offshore company formation is not advisable for every business. Businesses related to trading activities have a better scope. Hence, decide your business before venturing out to establishing an offshore company in UAE.

What is an offshore company in the UAE?

An offshore company can be owned by corporate bodies or individuals and is a business unit which does not perform any extensive business activity in its country of origin. An offshore company is not permitted to occupy an office space in the UAE.

UAE offshore incorporation helps you to run your business or asset ownership in the Middle East in the most profitable manner. Especially because you avoid the cumbersome process of having the off shore incorporation company documents attested by various embassies and Ministries of Foreign Affairs.

As UAE offshore incorporation requires an agent, you will need to choose one in order to register your company. The offshore package offered by any service provider stipulates that the agent representing the service provider would act as a link between the newly formed offshore enterprise and the local government.
