BritishSecret, I also wish to set up a Panama foundation to hold a portfolio of securities. To set up a Panama foundation the counsel has to be made with 3 members, if natural persons. If the counsel is made of a corporate body then only one will do. I plan to set up a UK ltd company that would be the counsel. Would it be difficult to obtain a bank account for this UK ltd Cy? My tax residence is Panama. Can anybody on this forum comment on this structure combination?
