Main issues to consider with global corporate structuring include:

i) Choosing the correct jurisdiction - what image do you wish to present to your clients or suppliers when you set up an offshore company?

ii) What is the nature of your business? Healy Consultants assists clients to start an offshore company in a jurisdiction which has no trade restrictions in your line of business;

iii) International tax implications - Healy Consultants will set up an offshore company which legitimately minimises international tax liabilities;

iv) Your obligations after incorporation - some jurisdictions require you to submit annual tax returns (for example, to the Hong Kong Inland Revenue Department) and financial statements, making company management more complex and costly;

v) Does the company have to register for VAT or GST? If required, Healy Consultants will assist our clients to register their company for VAT or GST;

vi) Asset protection and privacy - if required, Healy Consultants provides nominee shareholders and directors to enhance confidentiality. While most jurisdictions are submitting to pressure from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to exchange confidential investor information with the governments of fellow member states, some countries like Singapore and Hong Kong refuse to do so.

To support an offshore company in Asia, Healy Consultants will open a corporate bank account with an internationally-recognised and respected retail bank, including HSBC, Standard Chartered Bank and Citibank. Healy Consultants can accomplish this without our client needing to travel to meet the bank.
