Offshore Holding company, why you want that now?!

[dirtyharry]

You want to look into the setup of a offshore holding company rather than focus on a trading company to be setup in an offshore jurisdiction.

With all the increasing tax requirements and documentation for an Offshore company it is important to setup a structure that looks legit to the public but can operate with great tax benefits in the background. Further to tax planning asset protection is perfectly done when you setup a offshore holding company and get your onshore corps shares transferred properly.

Most often you want to consult a professional to help you with the planning of the structure and finally setup since it can be a complicated process not to say a legal point of view.

I totally agree & we had briefly this discussion already here by another user. The poblem is that people want to start using offshore companies for trading purpose while they are actually meant to be used only for "holding company" purpose!

Ideally they are used for asset and privacy protection in legal setups!

Sure they can be used for trading it is not a problem. It is just that in the past they were meant to be used as holding companies as well as other purposes.

No it is primary for asset protection and to safe up money for re investment in shares or other business!
