Business Setup

Offshore Company Setup in the UAE

Consider offshore setup with a clear understanding of its intended purpose. Discuss the structure, the parties involved and the professional advice needed to assess suitability.

Service overview

An offshore structure should serve a defined business or ownership purpose. It should not be selected on assumptions about tax treatment, banking access or where activities can take place. MSS can assist with gathering background information and coordinating setup enquiries. Specialist legal and tax advice should inform the structure before an application or commitment is made.

Support may include the following, depending on your requirements and the agreed scope.

  • Purpose reviewExplain the intended role of the entity.
  • Ownership informationOrganise background on the parties involved.
  • Professional coordinationIdentify questions for qualified advisers and the registry.

Who it is for

Investors and business owners considering a separate entity for a defined purpose may benefit from a careful preparation discussion before proceeding.

  • Clarify the objective before comparing structures.
  • Document questions requiring independent advice.
  • Coordinate preparation without promising tax or banking outcomes.

Useful answers

Before you begin

Is offshore setup suitable for every business?

No. Suitability depends on the purpose and relevant rules. Seek advice on the proposed structure before proceeding.

Does setup support include tax advice?

Coordination and professional tax advice are different services. Technical questions require an appropriately qualified adviser and agreed scope.

Will incorporation guarantee a bank account?

No. The chosen institution makes a separate assessment. Incorporation does not determine its decision.
