Offshore companies are among the three popular company registration methods when finalizing your business setup in UAE. Companies that prefer fiscally sound policies and discrete asset protection opt for offshore company formation in Dubai and other parts of UAE. Offshore companies are basically legal tools that prevent/undermine the efforts of any creditor, organization or country to pursue onto an investor or business entity’s wealth.
Why Protect Assets through Offshore Company
Asset protection is essential especially in case of a business dispute, divorce settlement or if an investor is subjected to biased foreign judgment, or even foreclosure shortfall judgment. Therefore, when an investor converts their assets to a foreign offshore company, the legal opponent has very little chance of pursuing after the assets.
OFFSHORE COMPANY FEATURES
-
Legal Protection
Offshore companies are shielded by strong asset protection laws as they are owned by more than one legal entity or stakeholders who are either employees or partners of multinational companies. This makes it difficult for a legal opponent to target an offshore company’s assets. Also, designated laws and regulations allow offshore companies protection against audits, fiscal reports and even lawsuits.
-
Tax Exemptions Legal Presence
While mainland companies are obligated to acquire a Business Trade License in order to conduct their business operations, offshore companies can exist to breathe without it. The constitutional documents allotted to offshore companies are basically the proof of legitimate presence and effectively serve as certificate of incorporation and the memorandum of association by the state of UAE.
-
Privacy
Aside from a list of benefits and exemptions offered to offshore business trusts and LLCs, entrepreneurs and investors also enjoy confidentiality of their financial records as a part of UAE to guard the privacy of offshore companies. Through these laws companies are entitled to secrecy by the state in terms of asset protection and discretion of maintaining its financial records as private, as long as the businesses intend on.
-
Operating the Business Outside UAE
While laws forbid offshore companies to conduct their business activities in UAE, these companies can carry out their business operations and investment strategies outside the country without the fear of scrutiny or legal action by the host country. This shields their assets and shares against individuals, government departments of other countries.
