From offshore company formation to a bank account

Foreign companies that have established an offshore entity in the Emirates can open an account in a local bank. However, this procedure tends to be more prolonged and intricate compared to an account setup for a mainland or free zone company. Banks typically impose stricter compliance checks and demand a greater number of supporting documents. Professional business consultants can help navigate this stage accurately.

Offshore companies are those registered in jurisdictions different from where they actually operate. They often set up facilities in offshore financial centers. Some people label these companies as tax havens because they take advantage of countries offering tax breaks to foreign investors who stash their cash or look for offshore business setup there. But in fact, these companies don't really do any business in those countries; they're just there on paper. Foreign enterprises or individuals use these tax havens simply as a legal address for their company.
