What is an Offshore Company?
An offshore company is a legal business entity established in a jurisdiction outside the owner’s country of residence. In the UAE, offshore companies are non-resident entities that cannot conduct business within the UAE but can hold assets, conduct international trade, and open corporate bank accounts.
