How to Protect Your Assets Using an Offshore Corporation

An offshore corporation is a corporation formed outside of your country of residence. Jurisdictions that have favorable laws compete with one another to accommodate the offshore asset protection and privacy needs of international clientele. Laws in these jurisdictions have helpful features that are not available in US, Canadian, UK law. Examples are privacy of ownership, privacy granted to officers and directors, and non-recognition of foreign judgments.

The offshore company is the ideal structure in which to place an offshore bank account. Offshore banking inside of your own international business company (IBC) significantly enhances your privacy. When someone wires money or sends a check abroad they leave a trail. If a person makes the mistake of having an offshore account in his or her own name, instead of in corporation, the trail leads right to him or her. However, then the trail leads to an offshore entity that you own privately, the trail has more of a tendency to grow cold for would-be litigants and judgment creditors.

Being comfortable going offshore requires a bit of understanding and insight. Keep in mind that for people in Switzerland, opening a bank account in the US is going offshore to them. For people who live in the reputable offshore jurisdictions, opening a bank account in their own counties feels much like and American feels when opening a bank account down the street. They do it with full confidence, relaxation and without giving it a second thought that their money will be there the next time they go to make a withdrawal.

Unlike most Europeans, Americans are isolated geographically from a multitude of other countries. Therefore, not as many people have experience with offshore banking as their foreign counterparts.
