Image shot for Offshore Corporate Entity

Offshore Corporate Entity

A properly-structured offshore corporate entity is an ideal, tax-efficient corporate vehicle through which international business can be conducted. The following information will help you determine whether an offshore corporate entity is a valuable solution for you:

Advantages of an offshore corporate entity

1.

An offshore corporate entity in reputable jurisdictions such as Singapore and Hong Kong portrays a positive image to customers, suppliers, investors and banks.

2.

An offshore corporate entity is a legal way to protect global assets. Visit our asset protection page for more information.

3.

An offshore corporate entity enhances client confidentiality. Shareholders' and directors' details remain private - offshore jurisdictions tend to have strong corporate and banking secrecy laws.

4.

An offshore corporate entity offers unrestricted flow of capital and transfer of assets globally.

5.

Provided it is legally and properly structured, an offshore corporate entity is a popular way to legitimately minimise international taxation.

6.

It is possible to open corporate bank accounts all over the world to support an offshore corporate entity. Banks such as HSBC, Standard Chartered, DBS and Citibank provide corporate bank account services.

Disadvantages of an offshore corporate entity

1.

While offshore corporate entity is perfectly legal, concealing information about your offshore investments is considered illegal in some countries.

2.

Many offshore jurisdictions are under pressure from the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) to exchange previously confidential client information. OECD efforts seek to minimise tax evasion, minimise money-laundering and terrorist financing. Offshore Business jurisdictions that are popular locations for incorporating an offshore corporate entity such as such as Singapore and Hong Kong are immune to such pressure.

3.

Depending on the corporate jurisdiction chosen, an offshore corporate entity may portray a negative image to your customers, suppliers, investors or banks.
