Is your business ready to go global? An offshore company registration can unlock international markets, offer significant tax efficiencies, and provide a stable platform for your global ambitions, protecting your assets in a hard currency.
What is an Offshore Company? A Simple Guide
An “offshore company” is simply a company that you register in a country outside of where you live and primarily operate. For a South African business, registering a company in a jurisdiction like Delaware (USA), Dubai (UAE), or the UK is a common strategy. Businesses do this for several reasons: to make it easier to transact with international clients in a stable currency (like USD), to access different legal and tax systems that may be more favourable, or to establish a presence in a major global market to attract international investment.
