About JAFZA Offshore
JAFZA Offshore is an offshore company registry administered by the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority (JAFZA). Established in 2003, it provides an internationally recognised corporate structure for investors seeking to hold overseas assets, intellectual property, shares in companies, and approved real estate within designated freehold areas of Dubai, subject to applicable regulations. Unlike a Free Zone or Mainland company, a JAFZA Offshore company is not an operating business licence. It is designed primarily for international business, investment holding, succession planning, and corporate structuring. Offshore companies cannot conduct business within the UAE domestic market or lease commercial premises for operational trading in the UAE. At The Corporate Bridge, we assist with the complete incorporation process through an approved registered agent, including document preparation, company registration, compliance guidance, and post-incorporation support.
