GoldenKey is a registered agent for IFZA Offshore formations, which means we incorporate, maintain and renew the company on your behalf. IFZA Offshore structures are popular with investors who want a UAE-registered holding company for property, intellectual property or an international trading business. Estonian business owners often pair an e-Residency company with a UAE entity for Gulf and Asian markets, which gives Estonian entrepreneurs a ready market and supply chain the moment their IFZA Offshore licence is issued. GoldenKey has Estonian customers from Tallinn and Tartu, and our consultants understand the documents released in Estonia and how to attest them for the UAE.
Why IFZA Offshore
An IFZA Offshore company cannot rent an office, sponsor visas or trade inside the UAE, which is precisely why its fees are so low. Dubai Land Department accepts qualifying offshore companies as property owners. For Estonians, the practical advantages of IFZA Offshore are the ease of travel between Estonia and the UAE, English is the business language, and a banking system that processes euro (EUR) transfers daily.
