IFZA Offshore Company for Singaporeans

Why IFZA Offshore

Offshore companies registered in the UAE benefit from the country's reputation, which is stronger with banks than many traditional offshore jurisdictions. 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. Singaporean applicants benefit from the fact that IFZA Offshore already has many Singaporean shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Singapore documents and name formats instantly.
