Incorporating an Offshore Corporation
There are many offshore jurisdictions to incorporate a company, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Samoa, just to name a few. There has been attached the stigma that these jurisdictions are for evading tax. Perhaps that may have been one of the reasons in the past, however, their reputations are now steadily growing with the changing laws. Many of them are now highly reputable jurisdictions for conducting business and companies incorporated some of the jurisdictions may also be listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, one of the premier bourse's in global financial markets.
In fact there are many good reasons to incorporate and use an offshore company in your business or part of your group. They could be used as an intermediary companies, holding companies, used for privacy reasons, etc. For more details go to "Why set up an Offshore Company" page in our "Knowledge" section for more extensive explanation.
To set up an Offshore Corporation
There are 2 ways to do this, either 1. purchase an existing shelf company; or 2. set up a new company from scratch
Shelf Company
A shelf company is one that has been pre-incorporated and ready for you to do business almost immediately. All corporate documents can be copied to you within a few hours and a complete kit shortly afterwards.
The benefits of using a pre-incorporated company is that the company is ready to do business almost as soon as you choose which one to
use.
To transfer the shelf company to you, we require details of the proposed shareholders, directors and where applicable the company secretary, and the address from which you will carry on your business and the location where your statutory book will be maintained. If, for any reason, if any of the above is not available at the time, for a fee we can offer our nominee and statutory book retention address services to you, click here for details of our other services.
Newly Incorporated Company
The benefits of setting up a new company as to purchasing a shelf company is that you can set up a company with the name of your choice (subject to availability), from the start, rather than have to change the name of an existing shelf company.
Since we work directly with Registered Agents in the British Virgin Islands for the incorporation of companies there and other incorporation agents for companies in the Cayman Islands and other jurisdictions, can ensure speedy incorporations of new companies.
