Just wanted to share my setup, which I 100% pieced together from all the threads I found over in the Mentor Group Gold forums.
I’m not gonna dive super deep into every little detail, just gonna list the key parts, if you’ve got MG Gold access, you’ll know exactly what’s what.

Here’s the breakdown...

First, I found a guy who hooks you up with nominees, they can do video verification, plus provide a utility bill and passport for your new director.
I hired my director for about €2,500/year. Pretty sweet deal for a full legit director if you ask me!

Then, for my Cyprus LTD, I split the ownership 25% each across four shareholders. Got some solid people for that too, only €500/year per shareholder.
No issues with video verifications either, even for meetings with banks or brokerage firms.

For the office, I rented a spot just outside Nicosia, pretty modern by Cyprus standards.
It’s a standalone building with water, heating, electricity, internet, fully furnished with new office stuff, reception desk, carpets, logo on the door and everything.

A couple of the shareholders actually work out of there daily, and we also hired a lady to handle the phones.
Makes it look good when banks, tax authorities, or anyone else calls, they can easily reach “management.”

Total yearly cost for everything? Around €19,000, and that includes bookkeeping and filing the yearly reports.

As for payouts, we only do dividends, fully tax-free.
We hold quarterly meetings where dividends are distributed. Most shareholders leave the money in the company to keep it growing.

I personally pull out a dividend every quarter, no salary for me.

Dividends get paid out to AlexPCS and other OCT card providers, so you can spend the money easily at stores, ATMs, whatever.

Hope this gives a bit of inspiration if you’re thinking about setting up something similar or just wanna get out of your home country and run a lightweight, tax efficient business that only pays corporate tax!
 
Hey ladies, damn, you're already crying like crazy.
You've been hanging around OCT forever and still haven’t figured out the big picture, instead, you just keep rambling on about stuff you know damn well, but act like it’s gonna drag the whole thread down into the gutter.

Honestly, you’re boring as hell to listen to.

I haven’t said a word about laws, compliance, or any of the stuff you’re going on about, but hey, I’m glad you’re getting your messages out there.

That said, I really don’t care what you’re writing, just like you clearly don’t care about reading what I write.

So by all means, keep doing your thing if you’re bored.

The point of this forum is to form a community of like minded people to come together, discuss, form synergies, help each other etc. By all means do whatever you want to do. My only advice to everyone out there is to consult a licensed lawyer prior to setting up there own schemes, this applies to all jurisdictions.

Do these only work for Cyprus, or are they nominees you’ve found that you can also insert into other companies if you want?
 
Hey, its great that you setup a company without having your name mentioned! Thats a great setup if you want to do bad things with the company, depending on your use case.

But thats the issue: We dont understand what you want to accomplish with your setup. You mentioned taxes, but for tax optimization this setup lacks in many points as mentioned. If you want to do fraud, the setup is way too complicated. Money laundering not applicable.

You wouldnt have shared this if you didnt think it would be a great insight for other people that want to solve the same problem as you.
So maybe you could give us some more insights what this setup is good for and what purpose it serves you?
You seriously deserve a holy medal from God Himself for that honesty, I’m sure you’ve never committed a single noteworthy offense in your life which we shall discuss here.

I have to admit, OP, what you’ve put together isn’t far off from the countless setups I’ve built myself, and it works just fine.
I’ll gladly ignore the nonsense posted by the so called "holier than thou" types, who are themselves deeply involved in high level illegal activities but still try to wash their hands clean.

In my opinion, it should be pointed out that the nominees you’ve likely used aren’t genuine, or at least they come from elsewhere, as has been described countless times in the Mentor Group forums.

My real challenges don’t lie in optimizing the tax structure itself, but rather in how I move the money into the next country I relocate to.

When taxes haven’t been paid on those funds, it gets tricky, that’s why I’ve chosen a solution where I pay a low 9% tax on the money I withdraw, making it much easier to move it around freely afterward.

Yeah, that’s definitely an option too. It’s way easier to move money around when you have documentation showing it’s been taxed, totally agree.

That’s a very interesting setup you’ve put together, though the cost seems a bit higher than what’s typical for this kind of structure.

I’d consider whether it might make more sense to relocate to a tax-free country instead , or what’s your current status?
 
There’s already been a ton of discussion about all this on OCT and in the Mentor Group Gold forums.

Good to see you’ve actually made solid use of your subscription and got real value out of it, same here.

Thanks for your post, it’s definitely an interesting one.
