Key Steps for Offshore Company Setup in Dubai
1. Initial Strategy and Free Zone Selection
We begin by analysing your business activities to recommend the optimal offshore jurisdiction (such as RAK ICC, or JAFZA Offshore). This crucial first step ensures your company is structured correctly for 0% tax on foreign income and 100% ownership from the start.
2. Document Preparation & Legal Verification:
Our team prepares all incorporation documents, including MOA, application forms, and passport copies. We conduct thorough pre-submission checks to ensure every detail meets the authority’s requirements, preventing delays.
3. Authority Submission & Registration
We act as your registered agent, submitting the complete application package to the relevant Free Zone or offshore authority. We manage all follow-ups until you receive the official Company Incorporation Certificate and Commercial License.
4. Corporate Bank Account Introduction
A company needs a bank account. We facilitate this critical step by preparing your financial profile and introducing you to our network of partner banks, streamlining the often challenging account opening process.
5. Government Compliance & Visa Processing
Our in-house PRO team handles all government liaison work. This includes registering for corporate tax (if required), obtaining a registered office address, and processing residency visas for shareholders and employees.
6. Ongoing Support & License Renewal
Your journey continues with our annual support. We manage your company license renewal, provide mandatory audit liaison services, and offer continuous consultancy to ensure your company remains in good standing and adapts to new opportunities.
