    Offshore Company will not always protect you 100%!

    However the degree of secrecy also varies from one offshore banking center to another.

    What are the major benefits of an IBC?

    Obviously the answer is that you are exempted from all taxes.

    Safety

    In that sense offshore business is highly secure. Governments of offshore banking centers work hard on establishing good image of their country. They would never risk to expropriate anything.

    Crisis protection!

    It really does not matter you registered a company in offshore area or onshore area. The effect of crisis comes from the activities you your company does.

    What offshore jurisdictions have bank secrecy in their constitution ?

    BTW I have never tried Panama accounts myself. What I have tried is Jersey HSBC account that is really convenient. I cannot say anything about bank secrecy, because it was never an issue for me.
