An IFZA Offshore company is a non-resident entity designed for holding assets, owning shares and trading outside the UAE, with no office, no visas and minimal annual compliance. Many of our clients pair an IFZA Offshore holding company with a free zone operating company, keeping ownership and operations neatly separated. On the ground, for Turkish founders, the UAE is around 4.5 hours from Istanbul from Ankara, the UAE is 1 hour ahead of Türkiye, and English is the working language; Turkish-speaking advisers are available. The most common businesses Turkish nationals open through GoldenKey are in construction, textiles and garments, food and beverage and furniture, although IFZA Offshore supports almost any activity.
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. Turkish applicants benefit from the fact that IFZA Offshore already has many Turkish shareholders on its register, so its officers recognise Türkiye documents and name formats instantly.
