Offshore Company Formation in the UAE
International structures with UAE credibility
A UAE offshore company (such as JAFZA Offshore or RAK ICC) is a non-resident entity designed for international business: holding assets and shares, owning intellectual property, international trading and estate planning.
Offshore companies benefit from fast incorporation, low annual costs, high confidentiality and the UAE's reputation and treaty network — without the requirement for a physical office or UAE visas.

Hold property, shares and investments in a secure, respected jurisdiction.
Confidentiality
Shareholder and director details are not on public record.
Low Running Costs
No office requirement and minimal annual renewal fees.
100% Foreign Ownership
Full ownership with no local partner requirement.
Fast Incorporation
Offshore companies can be registered in as little as 2–4 working days.
Dubai Property Ownership
JAFZA offshore companies can own real estate in designated areas of Dubai.

Common uses include international trading, holding company shares, owning intellectual property, owning Dubai real estate (JAFZA), and estate or succession planning.
Is a UAE offshore company legal and compliant?
