Strategic Offshore Company Setup in UAE
Everything you need to know about setting up your offshore company in the UAE.
Secure Your Global Assets
A UAE offshore company, often referred to as an International Business Company (IBC), serves as a powerful legal vehicle for asset protection, tax optimization, and international investment. While you cannot trade within the local UAE market or apply for residency visas, you benefit from a world-class regulatory environment that prioritizes confidentiality and ease of maintenance.
At Barqk Corporate Services, we specialize in registering entities in the UAE’s premier offshore jurisdictions, including JAFZA (Jebel Ali) and RAK ICC (Ras Al Khaimah), ensuring your global structure is robust and compliant.

Top Reasons to Choose a UAE Offshore Structure
Offshore formation is the ultimate choice for entrepreneurs who do not require a physical office but need a secure base for their international operations.
100% Tax Neutrality
Offshore entities generally enjoy zero corporate tax on foreign-sourced income, zero personal income tax, and zero capital gains tax.
Asset Protection & Privacy
Use your offshore company as a holding entity to safeguard property, intellectual property, or shares in other companies. Ownership details are kept highly confidential.
Save on overhead costs. An offshore company does not need a physical workspace; its legal address is typically provided by a registered agent.
No Physical Office Required

We go beyond mere registration. We act as your strategic partner in the UAE, providing a suite of specialized services to protect your wealth and facilitate global commerce.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a residency visa with an offshore company?
No. Offshore companies do not grant the right to live or work in the UAE. If you require a residency visa, a Free Zone or Mainland setup is the correct path.
Can an offshore company own property in the UAE?
Yes, but with restrictions. JAFZA offshore companies are specifically recognized by the Dubai Land Department for owning freehold property in Dubai.
Do I need to audit my accounts every year?
While you must maintain accurate financial records, most offshore jurisdictions do not require you to file an annual audit with the government, reducing your administrative burden
Does Barqk help with offshore banking?
Yes. We prepare a "bank-ready" dossier for your company and introduce you to specialized bankers who understand the offshore model, significantly increasing your chances of account approval.
What documents does Barqk need from me?
Initially, we only require a notarized passport copy, a utility bill for address proof (not older than 3 months), and a bank reference letter or professional CV.
Are there any minimum capital requirements?
There is no mandatory minimum share capital that must be deposited in a bank, though the capital amount must be stated in the company’s MOA.
