RAK Offshore Company Formation | Sohi Services
Sohi Pro Services specializes in seamless RAK Offshore company setup through the RAK International Corporate Centre (RAK ICC) – a globally recognized jurisdiction ideal for international business activities.
Established in 2016, RAK ICC is the result of a strategic merger between the former RAK Offshore (RAKIA) and RAK IC (RAK FTZ) entities. This unified structure retains all the benefits of traditional offshore jurisdictions in the UAE while simplifying regulations and enhancing credibility.
While the legal framework evolved, existing advantages of offshore businesses in the UAE remain intact. The only structural change for older companies involves amending their Memorandum of Association to reflect the new RAK ICC status.
RAK Offshore companies benefit from the UAE’s strong double tax treaty network with over 47 countries, making it an ideal vehicle for international business, investment, and asset holding.
