Ras Al Khaimah
Registering an Offshore Company in Ras Al Khaimah
A company, group of individuals, or division that desires to engage in offshore business processes often finds the UAE, and particularly Ras Al Khaimah (RAK), as an excellent choice. International Business Companies (IBCs) and other legal entities incorporated under RAK’s jurisdiction enjoy numerous benefits including tax exemptions.
In Ras Al Khaimah, offshore companies must maintain 100% foreign ownership, with all sales conducted through a registered UAE agent or distributor. These companies may engage in commercial, industrial or professional services.
