Does anyone know a service to rent an office with a utility bill in the states? For the purposes of a merchant account. Ideally in Florida. Not a registered office..

Cyprus meets all your requirements

Same here, can't find any named IBAN

Just pay your agent to do what you want properly. If you think tax lawyers are charging you "ridiculous amounts" then your business is probably not ready for offshore.

Only if you have an SSN or ITIN. At least as far as I'm aware.

A UK LTD is easier to form. You can incorporate in a day and get the business account same day. With a US LLC, you need to wait 4-6 weeks for an EIN to access banking.

If I were you I would just focus on my business to be able to get the tiers without the cards. It's a pointless distraction - especially in Cyprus.

Interchange fees within the EU are capped so banks don't make enough money from card transactions to offer any decent rewards. And Amex won't be accepted in most stores. Just get any credit card from Bank of Cyprus. IMO, credit card loyalty in general is a distraction and a waste of time anyways.

Yes, that happens even if you fly to other Schengen countries. But it is irrelevant because the Greek tax office never asks you for an immigration report. As long as you have a tax residency certificate, lease agreement, and utility bill from the other country they let you deregister as a Greek...

There's no way to achieve tax reduction or deferral while you are still a tax resdient of Australia. They have some of the strictest CFC rules and are very aggressive in enforcement - the risk is not worth taking. I'd suggest moving to a low tax country like Thailand or Dubai.

This is irrelevant. It doesn't matter that Cyprus or Bulgaria are outside of Schengen. They are EU so they won't stamp your passport with entry/exit. There are a lot of people doing this in Greece. I'd suggest Cyprus because there is no language barrier. If you're paying rent in Cyprus and have...

If you want to do everything by the book, there's no way to do what you're trying to achieve. If there was, nobody in France would be paying taxes. Now, if there's nothing in France under your name and you have everything in Bulgaria (including rent, company, etc.) it would be very hard for...

Not at all kidding.

Every Russian I know is heading to the UAE right now.
