    Urgently need to know what is VAT and can I open VAT number for Offshore company?

    Most of the world outside of Europe does not have VAT. Most businessmen in the North America, South America or Asia would have no idea what VAT is. Condescending comments just display your ignorance. I have the same question, what do you *gain* by registering for VAT? In what ways does it save...

    Can I open bank account in Germany with Offshore Company in Seychelles?

    It worked fine with a non-resident Cyprus company, or a resident-certificate VAT-registered Cyprus company?

    Company Name (Jurisdiction), Inc.

    Just to proof (sic) what I am trying to ask, these are search results from the UK companieshouse website you posted. It appears (Jurisdiction) is relatively common in name, explicitly as registered: e.g. 05476597 D BARCLAYS PORTFOLIO (UK) LIMITED 02362041 BARCLAYS FIDUCIARY SERVICES...

    Company Name (Jurisdiction), Inc.

    Do you not understand my question? Your display of lack of English skills does not advertise your services well. The questions is not whether (Cyprus) is always part of any registered name, the question is that when the client chooses to include it, do they generally register it as such...

    Company Name (Jurisdiction), Inc.

    Posting a link to the Cyprus government corporate registry is not advertising. It is a useful feature for anyone that wishes to do name search availability or lookup details of their corporation. The link you posted to the Cyprus registry search is broken. You need to link to the Search page...

    Company Name (Jurisdiction), Inc.

    Ok, well I guess I had to answer my own question. Shows "(Cyprus)" is actually a part of the registered names for those companies. I got similar results looking at names of companies registered with the UK Financial Services Authority (FSA).

    LLC Questions, then Offshore...

    Admin answered on another thread: "Depends where the LLC/LLP is resident." Ok, specifically then: Scenario 1: Graphic Design (Seychelles) Limited does graphic design for XYZ (US) Corp. Payments are not taxable by the U.S. because the work is done in the Seychelles. It is not "income...

    Company Name (Jurisdiction), Inc.

    When you see the jurisdiction in parenthesis in the name of a company: e.g. United Nothing Company (BVI) Limited. Is the (BVI) literally in the incorporated name of the company, or does that just serve to inform anyone where the company is registered, and it's name on the BVI registry is...

    Licensed/Unlicensed Nominees and Fiduciaries

    For companies that offer "fiduciary management", "nominee directors" and "nominee shareholders", they often state their corporate nominee shareholder, corporate nominee director, and/or management company is *licensed* for such. I presume that companies in most jurisdictions that are acting in...

    Virtual office for offshore compagnie

    Being able to order a dedicated land-line telephone to the office of the virtual address would solve the requirement at the corporate (not individual) level; however I rarely see that as an option offered (many offer dedicated telephone numbers, but the telephone #/bill won't be registered in...

    Solution for paypal

    Wrong question. The question is, you are in [pick offshore jurisdiction], how do you open a *local* paypal account. Paypal doesn't do "offshore accounts" AFAIK.

    Offshore company for purely online business

    A VPS (Virtual Private Server) works also, for purpose of showing a local IP address, and has some substantial security advantages. (Although costs more than a VPN typically). The hardest item there seems to me to be utility bill matching name and residential mailing address in the local...

    Virtual office for offshore compagnie

    One thing Virtual Office/Addresses do not solve is requirements for a matching utility bill. What do people typically do for that?

    What would you pay for logo design?

    LOL, I didn't notice the year on the first post. Crowd-sourcing graphic design sites for logo design has become increasingly popular. It doesn't necessarily save you much money (still probably need to offer around $1000 to get quality submissions), but you get much more variation in creative.
