Offshore foreign companies
An offshore foreign company is a legal entity registered outside the UAE, but permitted to operate within it. This requires a local agent or registered office in the UAE. These companies enable activities such as holding assets, investing, and international trade.

In 2023, the number of foreign companies registered in the UAE increased by 15%, reflecting the attractiveness of this investment environment. The UAE, by providing advanced infrastructure and a supportive regulatory framework, continues to attract international investments and strengthen its position as a global business hub.
