The Many Benefits Of Incorporating Offshore


In this article you are going to learn just a few of the powerful benefits of incorporating your business offshore.

According to Rhiannon Williamson, who is the proprietor of Shelter Offshore http://www.shelteroffshore.com incorporating offshore can incur one or more of five benefits to the member(s):

>> Simplified operations. Depending on where the corporation is chartered and the nature of the business, auditing and accounting procedures are far less demanding. (This is not true of financial service industries, incidentally.) Basically, you’ll spend less time doing paperwork.

>> Simplified reporting. As you remember from the last chapter, every state has its own reporting requirements, whether or not you actually operate inside that state. Since business activities of an “offshore” corporation rarely take place in the jurisdiction of incorporation, there are generally far fewer reporting requirements. In addition, you most likely won’t need to provide much in the way of personal information about your company’s director(s) - in other words, yourself.

>> Reduced taxation. Most rules state that a company set up in a particular jurisdiction must pay taxes only on income derived from the local economy – so if you’re set up in the Bahamas yet never make any actual money there, you can legally operate tax-free. Basically, the way large multi-national corporations operating in the U.S. do it is to use an offshore company as part of their overall international business structure, then post their profits in the offshore jurisdiction – thereby incurring no tax liability.

>> Asset protection. Incorporating in a jurisdiction different from the one in which you actually do business can enable you to shield assets from potential lawsuits and actually keep business transactions out of view from potential competitors.

>> Personal privacy. Not only are reporting requirements far less stringent when it comes to personal info on the company’s owner(s) and members, many jurisdictions allow you to protect your own identity by appointing proxies for your offshore corporation.


Popular Offshore Jurisdictions

Most of these are located in the Caribbean, with a handful in Asia. At least one of these jurisdictions – Puerto Rico – actually offers the best of both worlds. An entity can operate under the protection of U.S. law while enjoying many of the benefits of an offshore jurisdiction (see below).

When selecting an offshore jurisdiction in which to incorporate, you’ll need to ask yourself several questions, as each jurisdiction has its own set of rules and regulations. For example:

>> How much privacy will you need?

>> Will you be using “Double Taxation” treaties (agreements that allow profits from high-tax countries to be extracted to tax havens as interest, royalty payments or management fees)?

>> In which countries do you intend to do business?

>> Is your company a business, a consulting firm or a financial and investment services provider?

>> How much are you prepared to spend on annual fees?

>> Will you be issuing shares?

>> Do you intend to use proxies?

>> What are your current profits?

>> What is your capitalization level, and what are the repayment terms?

Your answer to these questions will have a great deal to do with where you choose to set up your off-shore company.
