IFZA Offshore Company for Kenyans

Why IFZA Offshore

In short, among its advantages, IFZA Offshore offers Dubai jurisdiction and reputation and Strong bank acceptance for IFZA structures, which keeps the running cost well below a licensed operating company. Typical uses of an IFZA Offshore company include holding Dubai property, international consulting and trading, group holding structures, IP and royalty holding and estate planning. Crucially, kenyan applicants benefit from the fact that IFZA Offshore already has many Kenyan shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Kenya documents and name formats instantly.
