The times are changing, so as the demographics of world. The business climate has changed drastically in the past few years as the onus is now set on the eastern world to provide the global economy the impetus rather than the traditionally-strong western economies. In the emerging business horizon, the United Arab Emirates has emerged as the latest business hub which has attracted all the major business players in the world. Many of the top international and multinational companies have either set up their business in Dubai and other states of the Emirates, or set up their regional headquarters there to be able to effectively tap the regional markets including Middle East, North Africa, Europe, Central Asia, South East Asia, South Asia, etc. This is why, a huge increase has been witnessed over the years in the number of Dubai offshore company formation.
