An offshore company is a legal business entity, as long as the activities it conducts are not illegal. However, it's important to check your domestic laws as some countries may require you to disclose ownership of a foreign company, and failure to do so may result in legal repercussions.

To ensure the legitimacy of your offshore company, it's important to properly complete the registration and incorporation process. This includes:

Registering the company in the appropriate Register, which gives it an official name.

Incorporating the company, which grants it legal status as a separate entity and protection for its company name.

Having a registered address in the jurisdiction where the offshore company was formed.

It's also important to note that an offshore company is only eligible for lower or zero tax rates if it conducts business outside of the country of incorporation. If any of these requirements are not met, the offshore company may face legal issues.
