Investors who want to hold assets (like real estate, stocks, intellectual property, etc.) in a secure, tax-neutral jurisdiction can use offshore companies. UAE offshore structures offer a simple way to consolidate and protect assets in a stable jurisdiction . They are ideal for estate planning and wealth management, ensuring your assets are insulated from foreign legal risks while being easily transferable to heirs or other beneficiaries.
If you have no requirement for a physical office in the UAE or residency visas, an offshore company is ideal. Offshore companies do not provide UAE residence visas for owners or employees , and they cannot carry out commercial activities within the UAE. This makes them perfect for holding companies, investment vehicles, or international business entities that won’t hire UAE staff or sell locally. (By contrast, if you do need to physically operate in the UAE or require visas, a free zone or mainland company would be more appropriate.)
Entrepreneurs from high-tax countries often use offshore companies to legally optimize taxes on foreign income. With a UAE offshore, your international profits can accumulate tax-free, and you can take advantage of the UAE’s extensive tax treaty network to avoid double taxation on cross-border earnings . If reducing the tax burden on your overseas business is a priority, an offshore company offers a legitimate vehicle to do so.
If your customers or operations are outside the UAE, an offshore company allows you to expand globally under the UAE’s advantageous regime without needing a local base . For example, consultants, traders, or online businesses serving clients worldwide can operate via a UAE offshore entity and benefit from zero tax on international earnings.
Business owners who value privacy in their financial affairs benefit from the anonymity offshore companies provide. If you prefer to keep your company’s financials and ownership information out of the public eye, an offshore jurisdiction offers that confidentiality by law
We begin with a detailed consultation to understand your business objectives and requirements. Our experts will help you choose the appropriate offshore jurisdiction (RAK ICC or JAFZA) based on your needs, and assist in selecting a compliant company name. At this stage, we also clarify your intended business activities and outline the company structure (shareholders, directors, etc.) . This planning step ensures a solid foundation for your offshore company.
Noble Core provides you with a checklist of required documents and helps prepare each item. Typically, you will need to provide personal documents for shareholders and directors (such as passport copies, proof of address, CVs) and sign our service agreements . We will draft the necessary incorporation documents, including the Memorandum and Articles of Association (MOA/AOA) for your offshore company. Our team reviews all paperwork for accuracy and compliance before submission.
Once all documents are ready, we will submit the offshore company application to the relevant authority in RAK ICC or JAFZA. Noble Core acts as your liaison with the registry, handling any queries or additional requirements. The authorities will review the application, and upon approval (which can take a few business days to a couple of weeks), your company will be officially incorporated . We will obtain the Certificate of Incorporation and other corporate documents on your behalf. At this stage, the MOA/AOA is signed and notarized as required to formalize the company structure.
After the company is formed, we assist you in opening a corporate offshore bank account in the UAE. Thanks to UAE offshore regulations, your company can open a bank account in major UAE banks (and even internationally) to conduct its business transactions . Noble Core will help prepare the bank compliance documents and arrange introductions to banking partners. This step is crucial for enabling your offshore company to operate financially (for issuing invoices, receiving payments, making investments, etc.).
Noble Core’s support doesn’t end at incorporation. We continue to act as your registered agent in the UAE, which is a legal requirement for all offshore companies. We help you maintain the company in good standing by handling annual renewals with the authorities and reminding you of any compliance deadlines. Notably, UAE offshore companies have no annual audit or tax filing obligations in most cases, simplifying compliance. However, we ensure that any changes (e.g. in shareholders or company details) are properly documented with the registry. Our team is always available for any additional services you might need, such as issuing certificates, making amendments, or even eventually upgrading to a free zone/onshore company if your needs evolve.
