Jordan offshore company registration

  1. An offshore company is a company which

    i)

    has been previously incorporated outside of Jordan and

    ii)

    registered in Jordan as a “foreign non-operating entity”, henceforth not allowed to pursue commercial or productive activities within the Kingdom. The words “exempt company” must also be added to its name;

  2. Jordan offshore companies are therefore mainly used by businessmen to:

    • Serve as regional headquarters for their Middle East operations;

    • Sign contracts corresponding to operations executed outside of Jordan and receive related revenue;

    • Hold both Jordanian and foreign shares and other assets;

    • Minimize taxation and protect the privacy of our Client’s net wealth and revenue.

  3. An offshore company can be registered with only

    i)

    US$1 of share capital

    ii)

    one corporate shareholder and

    iii)

    one director, whom can be of any nationality. The Ministry of Trade and Investment will still require a registered address in Jordan, which can be provided by Healy Consultants to our Clients;

  4. Healy Consultants recommends our Clients to select a company with at least two years of existence to serve as their offshore company’s parent company. Jordanian authorities will indeed request the two last audited financial statements in order to approve the offshore company’s registration in Jordan.
