Asset holding. International trade. No UAE residency required.
RAK ICC and JAFZA Offshore structures for holding, IP, and global business.
When offshore makes sense
Built for holding & trade.
Offshore companies are designed for owning assets (real estate, IP, shares in other companies), international business that doesn't touch the UAE market, and tax-efficient holding structures. They don't grant residency visas and can't conduct business inside the UAE — that's the trade-off for the lighter cost and faster setup.
Available structures
Two routes. Right tool for the job.
