Registering an Offshore Company in Dubai

Registering an offshore company in Dubai has become a popular choice for corporations looking to establish a presence in Dubai to expand their business in the Gulf region while benefiting from the various business policies offered by Dubai authorities.

This option is particularly beneficial for corporations that don’t intend to engage in business within Dubai – neither onshore nor within the available free zones – as they are eligible to set up an entity in Dubai under the UAE offshore regulatory system. Typically, offshore businesses function as holding companies and don’t engage in commercial activities.

There are several ways to structure an offshore company, including the following legal entities with their own frameworks:

Z

International Business Corporation

Z

Offshore limited liability company

Z

Trust or offshore foundation

Emirati law requires that a registered UAE-based agent administer the complete incorporation process. MSL Management Consultants FZE LLC has expertise in setting up offshore companies in Dubai and other parts of the United Arab Emirates.
