Dominica Corporation Offshore Privacy and Asset Protection

Dominica's offshore legislation is based on the International Business Companies Act of June 26 1996. The Act offers a new way of approaching corporation legislation. The legislation offers IBC’s many benefits in the arenas of asset protection and corporate privacy. Moreover, it utilizes a well-organized and planned incorporation process, with the privacy of all the corporations’ shareholders assured under the IBC Act section 12.

This section 12 of the IBC Act makes it an offence for anyone to reveal any information regarding a corporation (e.g. - no disclosure of Owners, Officers, Directors, etc) in Dominica, except by order of the Court, and solely relating to criminal activities. This offense is punishable by a fine and possible imprisonment for two years. Moreover, any information on the Beneficial Owners is not made available to the public. With an efficient incorporation process and costs that are very reasonable, Dominica offers one of the most beneficial offshore locations in the world.

Profile of Dominica

Known as the “Nature Island of the Caribbean,” Dominica was explored by Christopher Columbus in 1493. The island was first claimed by both Britain and France. In 1763, France officially relinquished it to Britain. Dominica is inhabited by its indigenous Carib and Arawak Indians and today it is the only island within the Caribbean which still has a Carib Indian population. Despite modern day advancements, this native people still try to preserve their traditional culture and lifestyles. There are many spectacular features with regards to Dominica. Her magnificent mountain ranges along with her astonishingly regal valleys and river systems elevate this place to one of the most scenic places on earth.

One of the many beaches

The island also boasts rich tropical rain forests with an abundance of wildlife, beautiful sandy beaches, two marine reserves and four national parks. Moreover, the island has the only Natural World Heritage site in the eastern Caribbean adorned by UNESCO on the World Heritage List. There is no dispute as to the island's being the “Nature Island of the Caribbean”.

Dominica is not your run-of-the-mill Caribbean destination. There are no large resorts or high-rise buildings along the coastline to block out the beauty. Dominica is growing as a tourist destination because of its natural spendor. The island institutes very strict conservation programs in an effort to retain her natural beauty, as well as preserve the natural ecosystem of the land. This is mainly due to the Dominican culture where the inhabitants are accustomed to living with nature without exploiting it.

All the different aspects of this exotic land make it a one of a kind destination. The Dominica government is a Westminster-style parliamentary government, consisting of three main political parties: the Dominica Labor Party (the majority party), the Dominica United Workers Party, and the Dominica Freedom Party. The basis for the Dominica's legal system is English common law. There are three magistrate's courts, with appeals made to the Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal and lastly, to the Privy Council in London.
