How Aviare Simplifies Offshore Company Formation

Setting up an offshore company is more than filing forms — it’s about aligning your goals with the right structure, jurisdiction, and banking partner.

Step 1: Strategic Consultation

We align your objectives (asset protection, holding, trading, IP) and recommend the right jurisdiction:

  • RAK ICC (Ras Al Khaimah International Corporate Centre)
  • JAFZA Offshore (Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority)
  • Ajman Offshore

Each has unique benefits depending on your residence, banking needs, and long-term plan.

Step 2: Company Name & Documentation

We prepare and file all required documents with the authority:

  • Application forms, passport copies, address proof
  • Memorandum & Articles of Association
  • Beneficial ownership declarations

We ensure compliance with UAE and international standards.

Step 3: Registration & Certification
  • Certificate of Incorporation
  • Memorandum & Articles of Association
  • Share Certificates

These documents enable international or UAE corporate bank account opening.

Step 4: Bank Account Assistance

We work with UAE and global banks that accept offshore entities and help you:

  • Prepare bank-compliant profiles and KYC
  • Draft business plans and projected statements
  • Schedule banker meetings or virtual verifications

Our objective is not just registration — but a functional, bankable structure.
