In financial parlance, the term "offshore" is used to define any business or investment carried out outside the country of residence. In other words, an offshore company is a legal entity established in an offshore financial center (offshore jurisdiction). An offshore company, most often referred to as an International Business Company (IBC) or a non-resident company, is a legal structure that provides low/tax-free conditions for legal entities or individuals, which in turn minimizes the tax burden and improves wealth management.

Everything went perfectly: from the consultation to obtaining a license. I was especially pleased with the help with opening a bank account – it would have been difficult without their support. We recommend it!

General Manager CSTI

We were faced with the task of registering a trading company in JAFZA and were worried that it would turn out to be a difficult process. However, when we contacted ASBC, we were pleasantly surprised. The team did an excellent job with all the stages of registration and the prompt opening of a bank account, providing transparent conditions and full support. We recommend ASBC to anyone who wants to register a business in Dubai quickly and without unnecessary hassle!
