UAE offshore company formation
An offshore company is registered in the UAE but cannot trade inside the UAE, lease office space or sponsor residence visas. It is mainly used to hold shares, intellectual property or property where permitted, or to run international business. We explain whether offshore actually fits your goal before you pay anything.

Questions about Offshore company formation
Does an offshore company give me a UAE residence visa?
No. Offshore companies cannot sponsor residence visas or lease office space in the UAE. If you need a visa, a free zone or mainland company is the usual route.
Will you guarantee a bank account?
No one can guarantee a bank account; the decision belongs to the bank. We help you prepare a clear, complete application and introduce you to banks that fit your profile.
