As we tell every client, many of our clients pair an IFZA Offshore holding company with a free zone operating company, keeping ownership and operations neatly separated. In short, if you need a clean, low-cost vehicle to hold investments or invoice overseas clients, IFZA Offshore is one of the most practical options in the UAE. The most common businesses Latvians open through GoldenKey are in logistics, IT services, timber exports and fintech, although IFZA Offshore supports almost any activity. As we tell every client, latvians are a small community in logistics, IT and timber trading, so the IFZA Offshore authority, the banks and the immigration officers see Latvian applications every day and process them without hesitation.
Why IFZA Offshore
From day one, the registered agent requirement means GoldenKey keeps the company's register, files renewals and handles correspondence with the registry. An IFZA Offshore company cannot rent an office, sponsor visas or trade inside the UAE, which is precisely why its fees are so low. Latvian applicants benefit from the fact that IFZA Offshore already has many Latvian shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Latvia documents and name formats instantly.
