Asset Protection with an offshore company, how is that possible?

SysOp said:
Well, there are many ways to protect your assets and equity in a Offshore company, even if you live in a country where it is prohibited to have your assets in an offshore jurisdictions without informing the local tax authorities.
However, the quick answer is, you will need to have a little company structure setup, beginning with an offshore company outside of the EU and US territory (last one only applicable for US citizens), like the Seychelles and Belize, make this company a Holding company, now register a Cyprus company which will be your second Holding company simply just in the EU (only applies if you are doing business / profits within the EU) now you will have your Cyprus Holding Company to register a trading company which will be the “face” towards your business partners and customers, additionally you can register a local company in your home country with the Cyprus trading company or Cyprus holding company if you like, now when you start making profits / doing business or investments, all your money will go to the companies behind the trading company, no one will be able to touch this money if done right. Further for your asset protection you can simply start selling your assets to the trading company and from there move the up in the top company, this can be copyrights, patents, physical goods and stuff, licenses, Royalties etc. once they are up in top level company, they are protected and your good.


Note this is not a legal advice nor is it the detailed version or should be seen as a detailed version of how to make something illegal. It is just a way to protect your assets offshore!
Do you think this is all applicable in 2012 / 2013 ?
 
I would recommend to look into the tax and company changes for a BVI Vista entity.
 
This thread /forum/f5/super-protected-offshore-company-how-do-accomplish-18965/ developed into great information for a perfect Asset and Privacy Protection setup. You may read it carefully and as well study your opportunities.

Asset Protection Planning Asset Protection planning is about creating a trustworthy story to hear to a judge or jury, that has as its final result that assets are shielded. There are ordinances, codes, rules, and notices, but all these are applied in the field of particular facts. All of English common law is a collection of stories embodied in the factual recitations of the viewpoints recorded in the law writers. When a lawyer makes her opening statement, lays out the proof, and makes her closing debate, she's telling the tale of that case. When the judge summarises the case in the judgement, he's retelling that story.
Legal action is competitive storytelling based totally on the provable facts. The significance of a good story is emphasised thru this article as being a critical element of asset protection. Having a good story is the root of prelitigation planning. If a reader finishes this article I write here having learned nothing else, he should come away understanding that the documents of an asset protection plan should lay out the facts so that if the plan challenged, a good story can be recited truthfully! Asset protection planning is like writing a script for grand play. Good planning leads to a soppy ending.


The tale must be one that puts the customer on the high road, so that when the judge or jury rules in the client's favor, it'll be because it was actually the only logical and fair conclusion to the tale. An asset protection plan is one that's planned to be seen, and seen enthusiastically, by whatever judge or jury that must appraise it at later. Paradoxically, the tale will never be about asset protection. Though there are heavy exceptions like official exemptions and extravagant trust, the law often scowls on asset protection.
That's great information, really useful. Wondering if this is still working and applicable for new offshore company / offshore trust / foundation setup?

Most of the information in this thread has to be revised in order to be up to date for 2013 / 2014 however, the basic still apply. Some will want to do proper research before launching a offshore structure for perfect asset protection.
 
Offshore companies do not give you the same security as onshore ones. However, they are more profitable most of the time. The trick now is to manage your funds more correctly. This could be done by investing in safer assets. You can also try working with the most trusted names in the business. There are lots of them.
 
Most often a offshore company offers a higher level of privacy, anonymity and securing assets. This still apply in 2014!
