Now days Dubai has become one of the most popular jurisdiction to setup an offshore company because the company enjoys international acceptance and a “white list” status as being not included in the FATF “tax havens and black lists”. Business leaders from around the world are attracted to form an offshore company in Dubai due to the following benefits.
Confidentiality of Dubai Offshore Company and its Asset Protection :
An offshore company in Dubai guarantees highest level of confidentiality and anonymity of the business. This is also due to the stable and reliable political structure of Dubai. Also the company is not liable to disclose any information such as public records of directors and shareholders.

This feature ensures investor a highest level of privacy that he cannot get in his own country and is the main reason that foreign investors around the world want to register their offshore companies in Dubai.

This provision provides transparency for business, gain complete returns and to engage in further business activities.
