The incorporation of offshore companies:

Primarily, the incorporation of an offshore company brings various benefits to the operation of corporate structures and to private individuals. The unique features and flexibility of offshore law provide the ideal conditions for active business operations, property ownership and the protection of assets.

The incorporation of companies in key offshore jurisdictions provides the following benefits:

  • access to financial, administrative and investment services with improved efficiency and appeal of the business;
  • the acquisition of a wide range of opportunities for the application of offshore tools in various business areas: international trade, internet commerce, services (consulting, marketing, transportation, etc.), intellectual property management, franchising, property management, international leasing and so on;
  • considerable minimisation of taxes or total elimination of taxation by the incorporation of an offshore company or the purchase of a shelf company within any of the classic offshore jurisdictions (for more details please see the Jurisdictions section);
  • the opening of bank accounts for the offshore company, the issue of bank cards, loans and 24/7 access to funds via internet banking;
  • the legal regulations of offshore jurisdictions ensure the protection of assets and total confidentiality with nominee services;
  • permanent residence permits in the country of choice offering specialised schemes.

You can accomplish several objectives at the same time and secure comfortable business and personal conditions with minimal effort and resources (for more details please see the Jurisdictions section).

The time required for registration depends on the specific jurisdiction. You can buy a shelf company within just a few hours but the incorporation of an offshore company in most jurisdictions and the issue of the full set of documents will normally take 7-15 business days.

To comply with all mandatory procedures you will need to provide us with the list of proposed titles of your future company (3 or 4 options in the order of preference) so we can check for their availability, state the objectives of the company and the proposed share capital and outline the expected structure of the company. To ensure high standards of confidentiality we will provide the services of nominee directors and shareholders in conformity with local laws to manage your company according to your instructions. During our first communication we will provide you with the list of documents required by your chosen jurisdiction. Throughout your incorporation process our consultants will provide you with timely advice, assist in the preparation of the required set of documents and act in the interests of the owners with all relevant official government offices.

Once the incorporation process is complete we will offer comprehensive administration services to your offshore company.
