Annil Gehaani

We had an outstanding experience with Aurion Business Setup Consultants, and special appreciation to Mr. Santhosh for the exceptional way he handled our company closure in SAIF Zone. From start to finish, the entire process was managed with remarkable efficiency, clarity, and professionalism. What truly stood out was the complete lack of hassle on our end. Santhosh took ownership of every detail, kept us consistently informed at each stage, and ensured the process moved smoothly without any delays or complications. The closure was completed in a much shorter time than anticipated, which speaks volumes about his expertise and commitment. His responsiveness, transparency, and hands-on approach made what is usually a complex process feel effortless. We highly recommend Aurion and Santhosh to anyone seeking dependable, efficient, and top-quality corporate services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know,answeredclearly.

What is the difference between a JAFZA Offshore Company and a Free Zone Company?

A JAFZA Offshore Company is a non-resident entity designed for international business operations and holding assets. It cannot conduct business within the local UAE market and does not offer UAE residence visas. A Free Zone company, on the other hand, can operate locally within the zone and provides residency options for investors and employees.

Can a JAFZA Offshore Company buy property in Dubai?

Yes, one of the major benefits of a JAFZA Offshore Company is that it is legally permitted to purchase and own real estate in designated freehold areas of Dubai through JAFZA-approved property developers.

Do I need to rent physical office space for a JAFZA Offshore setup?

No physical office space is required for the offshore company itself. However, the company is required to have a registered address in the UAE. This is provided by your appointed Registered Agent (like AURION), who acts as your representative for all official communications.

How long does it take to register a JAFZA Offshore company?

The process is highly efficient. Once all required documents are submitted and the fee payment is completed, the JAFZA Offshore Authority typically issues the Company Incorporation Certificate and other corporate documents within 3-5 working days.

Is an annual audit mandatory for JAFZA Offshore companies?

Yes, to maintain compliance with the Jebel Ali Free Zone Authority regulations, an annual financial audit is mandatory for all JAFZA Offshore companies.
