What is an offshore company?

A UAE offshore company is a non-resident legal entity used primarily for holding assets, international trading, and structuring investments. It cannot trade within the UAE but is a powerful tool for global business.
Offshore structures offer strong confidentiality, 100% foreign ownership, and no corporate or personal tax. They are commonly used to hold shares in other companies, own property (in approved areas), and protect assets.
