Free
Information to Help You Maximize Privacy Using
an Offshore Company
A company filed in an offshore jurisdiction
can help you maximize your privacy when opening
an offshore
bank account. First, your offshore corporation
will be established in a private offshore safe
haven such as the ultra-private Caribbean island
of Nevis. A Nevis
LLC, for example, offers a respectable combination
of asset protection and ownership privacy and,
incidentally, can be formed in 24 hours. Then,
you apply for a bank account offshore in the
name of your new company.
To help you keep as low a profile as possible
with your company it is in your best interest
to add some services to your offshore entity
that can enhance your secrecy.
-
Have a nominee stand in
for you as the officers and directors of your
company. Nominees stand in for you while,
you, as the true owner have control through
an agreement that gives you full command over
your offshore entity. The nominee has a contract
stating that he stands in for namesake only
and has no ownership or control of your offshore
entity. This technique is highly effective
if you want to retain full power over your
company but you want to keep your association
with it hidden. Moreover, your money is safe
because you are signer on all bank accounts.
-
Another way to keep your
ownership private is to have a virtual
office program in the offshore jurisdiction.
The office program will give you a telephone
number that is answered for you. You will
have a fax number. And your mail will be forwarded
to you from your offshore office. The address
and telephone numbers can be placed on your
website. When someone calls, the shared receptionist
will answer on behalf of your offshore company,
saying, for example, “Corporate offices,
how may I help you?” The message is
then sent to you by email or other method
if you prefer. Rather than paying rent and
hiring a receptionist the office program services
start at just $995 for an entire year.
The office program is a real and legitimate
operating place of business for your offshore
structure. Keep in mind that the all the shareholders
and officers of McDonald’s aren’t
hanging out at all of the restaurants all
day. This is not legally required nor is it
realistic. Rather, there are employees and
franchisees operating the day to day activities.
This is the same with your offshore office.
You have contracted employees working in your
offshore corporate office for you.
By adding the two above services to your foreign
entity you can substantially increase your privacy
and give yourself an extra layer of protection
to help ward off a financial attack.
