Offshore Companies

Registering offshore companies within a free zone enables them to avail several similar benefits, but it doesn’t serve as a direct substitute for a free zone company. The key difference lies in the scope of business operations. Offshore companies are allowed to engage in business activities outside the UAE rather than within the country. Furthermore, they do not have any minimum capital deposit requirements before incorporation. However, unlike the flexibility of operating as a free zone business, offshore companies require a sponsor, restricting foreign ownership to a maximum of 49%.
