An offshore company is ideal for international trading, holding assets and shares, estate planning and protecting wealth. UAE offshore structures (such as RAK ICC and JAFZA Offshore) offer strong confidentiality, no minimum capital requirements and 100% foreign ownership.
Offshore companies cannot trade within the UAE or obtain residence visas, but they are powerful tools for holding real estate, intellectual property and international business interests. Global Prime advises on the right jurisdiction and structure.
