What is an Offshore Company?

An offshore company is a legitimate and valid business entity that is considered as an off-the-shore business, and it can only carry out all of its business operations exclusively outside the country of its origin. It is one of the favoured alternatives when it comes to quick and easy means of business expansion and is also regarded as a non-resident business.

RAK offshore company formation provides a business person with total banking security and privacy. Ras Al Khaimah Offshore is the fastest way to invest in offshore companies in the UAE and RAK International Corporate Centre (RAKICC) is the governing body.

Why choose to set up an Offshore Company in Ras Al Khaimah?

Legal Protection

The UAE is not considered a ‘tax haven’ jurisdiction. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) has not blacklisted the UAE. Therefore, those choosing to set up an Offshore company within the UAE are protected by the UAE legislation and conduct business activity legally, which complies with international standards.

Asset Protection

RAK offshore company allows complete asset protection with a reliable and sturdy platform for foreign investors in comparison to domestic business entities. RAK offshore asset protection enables immigrant trustees to build a legal wall that effectively helps separate the creditors and the assets guarded inside your offshore company.

Discretionary Investments

The chief advantage of RAK offshore company formation is that you are not bound to any regular rules and restrictions that the companies need to follow compared to any other jurisdiction. Offshore companies in RAK are an independent overseas territory for investors and entrepreneurs, with its own set of guidelines and authority called RAKICC.

Multiple Activities

Ras Al Khaimah Offshore Company Formation

Offshore companies may engage in multiple business activities such as trading, professional services, shareholders and/or investors of other UAE-based companies as well as property holding companies.

Required documents

For individual directors/shareholder

  • Certified copy of the valid passport of all directors/shareholders.
  • Certified copy of utility bills, local authority tax bills, tenancy agreements or bank statements showing the address of all directors/shareholders.

For corporate director/shareholder

  • Certified copy of the corporate documents including Certificate of Incumbency, Memorandum and Articles of Association.
  • Certificate of Incumbency/ Certificate of Good Standing.
  • Certified copy of the authorized signatory of a corporate shareholder.
  • Name of shareholders and Ultimate Beneficial Owners.
  • Certified copy of corporate resolution regarding new incorporation approval in RAK.

Steps Linked in the Company Formation of a RAK Offshore Company

If all the documental necessities are met, then it normally takes only 3-4 days to incorporate your RAK offshore company. Here is the procedure for registration of your offshore in RAK:

  • To begin with, you should get consent for the company name and business activities it is going to perform.
  • Next tender the signed setup documents to the Registrar in RAKICC, the governing body of RAK offshore.
  • Your company is ready now. You now need to create your corporate bank account, and then you can commence with the business operations.
