JAFZA, RAK ICC and Ajman
The three main UAE offshore jurisdictions are JAFZA, RAK ICC and Ajman. They differ in cost, in how they are perceived by banks, and in what they allow, JAFZA, for example, can hold Dubai property in a way the others cannot.
We advise on which jurisdiction fits your purpose, holding, trading or structuring, and register the company with owner-fixed, transparent pricing.
What offshore is, and isn't
An offshore company is not a way to get a UAE residence visa, and it is not a licence to trade within the UAE. It is a holding and international-business vehicle: it can own shares, hold real estate where permitted, own intellectual property and invoice internationally.
Used for the right purpose it is efficient and entirely legitimate. Used for the wrong one it disappoints, which is why we tell you plainly whether an offshore company or an onshore one is what you actually need.
Banking and substance
Opening a bank account for an offshore company is more demanding than for an onshore one, and a weak application is the usual reason one is declined. With 1,000+ accounts opened and relationships at 10+ banks, we prepare the file, the structure and the rationale the way a compliance team wants to see it.
We also keep you on the right side of economic-substance and reporting obligations, so the structure stays clean.
Offshore suitability, banking and substance obligations depend on your purpose and circumstances. We confirm whether it fits before you commit; treat any figure here as a starting point, not a quote.
