What offshore jurisdiction has no public register to lookup my name?

I will not clean the thread since it is relevant! However, don't troll the thread!

The question is broad but clear, OP looks for alternative jurisdictions where no public registry exists or soon will come!
 
Guys, you have to keep in mind that if a jurisdiction signed with the OECD, that within the next five years there will be no privacy at all (I can't remember of all the OECD thing, but it's one of their requirements).

There is still the nominees, but let's face the reality, do you know any agent who won't s**t in his pants when he will receive a court order? Or at least challenge the court order? I don't think so...

I know that I'm a big nay-sayer here, but before jumping in the "offshore thing", it's mandatory for noobs to triple think if the benefits are worth the risks in long term.
 
It's not so easy.

The weak point is the bank and not the Registry.
A customer can use a company with NO public registry (Privacy), but the bank wants to know the UBO.
For this reason you can use a Fiduciary service (no cheap) or a new residency in Panama or UAE.
 
What would you suggest a noob to do @Talyn ?

I would ask:
1) How much money? 100k, 1M, 10M?
2) a) B2B or B2C business?
2) b) If B2B what is the withholding rates with countries which didn't sign a DTT?
3) a)Do you have a plan to use this money? An ATM car is great if you plan to use it to buy some clothes, book some nice travels, but if you want to buy something expensive like cars, properties or other things... That's useless.
You can't wire 100k to your personal bank account (or if you want to have the full jail experience).
3) b) Did you meet a tax lawyer in your own country?
3) c) If you plan to set up a loan agreement between you and your offshore, does your country's laws require to inform your tax office? If yes be prepare for a tough tax investigation and hope that you're clean since the last 5 years (or whatever length of period your tax office can investigate on).
4) Did you check what are the risk of "tax evasion" in your own country? What is the worst risk?
5) Did you list all the costs for the offshore thing (including lawyers, etc.), vs incorporating in your own country and compared it? Does the possible economy still worth it?

After that, it's up to OP, benefits vs risks.

I don't know why he needs an offshore and what he plans to do with it, i'm just saying that having an offshore just to avoid paying taxes is not a good idea in long term, but there is always plenty of setups that involve offshore companies and can be seemable "legit": Royalties/Intellectual properties hold by an offshore, a Scottish partnership between a company in your own country and an offshore company, etc.

Anyway, I am not an expert, not at all.

If your question is "I want to find the offshore jurisdiction that don't show my name in the public register when someone search for my company!", the answer is St. Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and Grenadines.
