Most commonly, it makes sense to incorporate a business in your own state, whether you register a small business, a medium enterprise, or even a large LLC. Most people choose this option because they are familiar with the laws and, well, it is more convenient. However, there are also people who choose to go a long way and get out of the comfort zone. Sometimes, it is worth traveling and becoming familiar with a new state, especially if this effort brings in a plethora of advantages. A Wyoming company is one of the hottest topics in the entrepreneurship industry these days. You do not necessarily have to reside in Wyoming to start a company there, so more and more business people choose this state for incorporation. At this point, you...

Incorporating in the USA seems like a bad idea at a first glance. Most entrepreneurs would rather focus on low tax jurisdictions – in fact, if you play your cards right, you might be able to avoid tax at all, without even breaking the law. However, the USA does have some advantages and some states in particular stand out. This is because while the whole country falls under some general laws, each state has the right to come up with its own regulations. Delaware is one of these states. More and more corporations choose Delaware and for some good reason. But then, just like any other state, it has both advantages and disadvantages. Here is everything you need to know about incorporating a Delaware company. Benefits of incorporating...

While saving for retirement is the norm, the truth is more and more people turn to diversify their assets in order to avoid depending on the government. After all, by the retirement age, there is not much you can do to get back on track, so you truly depend on a bunch of rich individuals. If it is already too late, you can still aim to diversify assets by diversifying your retirement plan and even moving it abroad.

No matter how stable and civilized today’s society seems to be, the truth is unrest is just round the corner. Nationalism is growing, as well as the popularity of communism in certain parts of the world. Diversifying assets is a must in such unstable times. Fiat currency helps in the short run, but never in the long run – after all, most currencies are set to fail at some point or another – based on history, of course. With these thoughts in mind, diversification is often the key to more successful backup plans. The idea is to diversify your wealth, so you can live comfortably even if unexpected situations arise. While there are lots of options out there, two of them stand out in the crowd. Digital coins represent a modern...

Offshore banking comes with pros and cons, depending on where you come from, what jurisdiction you choose and what your goals are. There are plenty of attractive options out there, and tax havens often lead the charts because they cater to foreigners. Now, compared to other concepts related to the offshore industry, banking is not necessarily about tax optimization. The jurisdiction of your business and your residency or citizenship are more important. However, banking does play an important role too. Banking is mostly about diversifying assets. You could have an account in a country that feels economically and politically stable. Your money is more likely to be safe in such a place, rather than in developing jurisdictions. When...

If you think about it for a second, paper money holds incredible value without being something valuable – nothing but actual paper. The idea is definitely exciting, but also hard to believe how it came to life in a world where people had access to more valuable things. Paper currency is interesting from more points of view, though. For example, printing technologies are quite advanced to prevent fake money. Then, what makes it stand out is the fact that a commodity with no value is used to trade. Flying money has no intrinsic value – always taken for granted by those who own it, though. For hundreds of years, humanity used valuable objects for trade and not only. It was like an unwritten rule. Things like silver and gold were the...

Barack Obama signed FATCA in 2010. FATCA stands for the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act and became a legal requirement targeting Americans from all over the world – exactly, including those who do not live or work in the USA too. At that time, FATCA paved the way to multiple similar acts with the one and only purpose to boost transparency and communication in terms of offshore banking. This act is one of the elements that ruined privacy in this industry. Now, unless you plan to commit a financial crime, FATCA should not really affect you. But on the other hand, it is disturbing to know that banks are actually asked to spy on their customers and mention specific aspects about them – it feels like going back to the 1970s in Eastern...

John D. Rockefeller made an important statement once – Own nothing, but control everything. Coming from someone with incredible wealth, this aspect has been thoroughly analyzed overtime and has become a top rule for handling money. What he meant is fairly simple to understand. If you do not own anything, it means it cannot be taken away from you. This is what asset protection truly means, and believe it or not, it can be done legally. Most people simply forget about this aspect, though. Back in the early 1990s, only a few people knew how asset protection truly works. With time, the popularity of this concept grew, so by the late 1990s, most millionaires had some clues about asset protection – it started spreading overnight. The...

In May, 2010, the Dubai’s Mall Galleries Lafayette brought in a new ATM. The machine allowed customers to withdraw cash, as well as gold – a few grams or perhaps a large gold bar, up to each customer. It was proof of opulence back then. No other country had something like that – the possibility to walk in the mall on a Thursday morning and withdraw some cash and a few grams of gold. Everything was possible with a credit or debit card. Now, if you go back in the history of modern civilization, you will realize that money has pretty much always been backed by gold – officially or not. Despite the gold ATM gaining some popularity in the UAE, the country’s fiat currency is not actually backed by it. In fact, it is impossible to find a...
