Securing a loan for an offshore company

[mnschwarz]

I looked in to securing a loan for an offshore company a while back and pretty much gave up as most offshore banks wouldn't lend to non-resident companies. Was just wondering if there's any downside to incorporating a second onshore company with the sole purpose of securing a loan? The onshore company could then loan the funds to the offshore company. Apart from the extra hassle of having an additional company, do you see any issues with this?
