Dubai Offshore Company Registration Requirements

(I) Shareholder requirements

At least 1 shareholder is required, and the shareholder can be a natural person or a company, and there is no restriction on the nationality of the shareholder. This provides equal opportunities for investors around the world. No matter which country or region you come from, you can register an offshore company in Dubai and start your international business journey.

(II) Director requirements

Also, at least 1 natural person is required to serve as a director, regardless of nationality. As the core management personnel of the company, the director is responsible for the daily operation and decision-making of the company and needs to have certain business experience and management capabilities.

(III) Registration address requirements

The company must have an actual local address in Dubai as the registration location. This address will be used to receive government documents and letters to ensure smooth communication between the company and government departments.

(IV) Registered capital requirements

The minimum registered capital of Dubai offshore companies is 10,000 dirhams, and no actual payment is required. This greatly reduces the registration threshold for enterprises, alleviates the financial pressure on enterprises, and enables more entrepreneurs to realize their business dreams.

(V) Bank account opening requirements

When a company opens an account, the legal representative or authorized representative must be present in person and complete the relevant visa procedures in advance. Different banks may have different specific documents and conditions for account opening. Before opening an account, the company should understand the requirements of each bank in detail and prepare relevant materials to ensure a smooth account opening.

(VI) Notarization and certification requirements

If the shareholder is a natural person, no notarization and certification is required; but if the shareholder is a company, its company documents must be notarized and certified. The purpose of notarization and certification is to ensure the authenticity and legality of the document and provide legal protection for the company's registration and operation.

Dubai Offshore Company Registration Process

Choose a company name

The company name must comply with local laws and regulations, cannot be repeated with existing companies, and should avoid using sensitive words such as guarantee, bank, insurance, etc. It is recommended to prepare multiple company names as alternatives in advance, and conduct name searches and filings to ensure that the selected name can pass the review smoothly.

Prepare the required documents

It is usually necessary to submit documents such as the identity certificates of shareholders and directors, passport copies, proof of residential address, and company charter. When preparing documents, be sure to ensure the authenticity, accuracy, and completeness of the documents to avoid registration delays due to document problems.

Apply for registration

Submit the prepared application materials to Dubai for approval. During the approval process, the relevant departments will conduct strict reviews of the company's registered capital, shareholder structure, business scope, etc. The company needs to wait patiently for the approval results and actively communicate with the relevant departments to promptly resolve possible problems and ensure that the registration process proceeds smoothly.

(V) Obtain a business license

After the review is passed, the company will officially obtain a business license, which marks the successful registration of the company. At this time, the company can use the business license to carry out various legal business activities and start its business journey in Dubai.

Dubai offshore company registration required information

(I) Personal information

Copies of valid passports of all shareholders and directors, ensuring that the documents are valid and legible.

Proof of address, such as a recent utility bill or lease agreement, to prove the residential address of shareholders and directors.

(II) Company information

Prepare 3 company names, arranged in order of priority, with the first one as the first choice and the other two as alternatives. The company name should be unique and avoid duplication with other companies or use of banned words.

Articles of association, clarifying the company's organizational structure, shareholders' rights and obligations, business scope and other important matters. The articles of association are the company's "constitution" and are of great significance to the company's standardized operation.
