Understanding Offshore Companies

Eslam El Gendy Corporate Services starts by understanding what you want the company to achieve before helping organize the appropriate formation route.
- Review the proposed company purpose
- Understand shareholder requirements
- Review ownership structure
- Compare offshore with other UAE structures
- Organize incorporation documentation
- Support ongoing corporate administration

International Business Planning
We Help You Decide Whether an Offshore Structure Fits Your International Plans.
Offshore formation should start with the purpose of the company, not simply with an incorporation package.

Where another UAE company structure appears more suitable for the intended operations, the wider options can be considered before moving forward.
