Frequently Asked Questions

An Ajman offshore company is an international business company registered with Ajman Free Zone under its offshore regulations, introduced in 2014. It is a non-resident vehicle used for holding assets and shares or for trading outside the UAE, with no office, staff or visa entitlement.

A minimum of one shareholder and one director, a registered agent, a registered address through that agent, and full know your customer documents for all owners and beneficial owners. There is no minimum paid up capital requirement, and 100% foreign ownership is permitted.

Renewal falls due on the incorporation anniversary and covers the registry fee plus the registered agent fee, with confirmation that shareholder, director and beneficial owner details remain current. Missing the renewal risks penalties and eventual strike-off, after which restoring the company is slower and more expensive than renewing.

Often yes, but it depends on the receiving authority. Some free zones and departments of economic development accept offshore entities as corporate shareholders and others do not, and acceptance is not uniform across the emirates. Confirm the position with the target authority before you build the structure around it.

No. It cannot hold a trade licence, lease commercial premises, sponsor visas or invoice customers inside the UAE. To operate in the local market you need a mainland or free zone company, which the offshore entity can own as a shareholder.

Accounting records must be maintained, but the registry does not ordinarily require audited statements to be filed each year. Banks, corporate tax filings and shareholder due diligence often make an annual audit worthwhile regardless of the registry position.

Ajman offshore usually wins on cost. RAK ICC generally wins on international recognition, banking acceptance and features such as redomiciliation, which matter for holding structures and investor facing entities. The right choice depends on how the company will be used and by whom.

Yes. As a UAE incorporated juridical person it falls within the corporate tax regime and must register with the Federal Tax Authority, then file annually even where no tax is payable. Late registration carries an administrative penalty.
