What the package contains — and what it does not
Pricing pages usually hide the second-year cost. This one leads with it.
Before the details, the frame that matters: The cheapest UAE offshore company is Ajman Offshore — the lowest formation and renewal economics in the country, incorporating in as little as one working day. 'Cheapest' stays cheap only when the file is right: FTA registration done, renewals on calendar, banking sequenced. That discipline is included, not extra.

The 1-working-day route, hour by hour
This is the actual sequence our desk runs. Ajman Offshore can complete inside one working day on a clean file; RAK ICC and JAFZA follow the same steps over 2–5 days.
15 minutes on WhatsApp or a call. We confirm the right registry for your purpose, quote the full written cost, and reserve your company name.
Passport copy, proof of address, brief source-of-funds note, and signed application. We check everything against registry standards before it goes anywhere.
GoldenKey submits in person through our registered-agent desk. A clean file does not sit in a queue.
Certificate of Incorporation, MOA and share certificates issued. Ajman Offshore can complete same day; RAK ICC and JAFZA follow in 2–5 days.
We pre-match your profile to banks with current appetite for offshore structures and manage the application — our success rate stays at 96%.
What every package includes by default
Multi-currency banking
UAE accounts run AED, USD, EUR, GBP side by side — invoice globally without conversion drag.
One-day capability
Ajman Offshore incorporates in as little as one working day when the file is complete — we pre-clear names and KYC before submission so nothing bounces.
Asset ring-fencing
A separate legal person holds the assets — a claim against you personally does not automatically reach what the company owns.
No physical presence needed
Formation and renewal run through your registered agent — most clients never fly in.
Privacy by design
Shareholder registers are not published publicly; disclosure runs to the registrar and your bank under UAE AML law, not to the open internet.
Low running cost
One registered-agent renewal per year. Ajman Offshore is the cheapest annual maintenance in the country.
