Offshore Corporations

An offshore corporation is a whole new level of asset protection. By forming an offshore corporation you have a legal entity to hold assets and only you know who the beneficial owner is. All the information gathering agencies and services that help domestic attorneys, ex-spouses, ex- business partners and creditors will not be able to find your accounts and assets, therefore, making you a very poor prospect for a lawsuit.

U. S. Judgments Are Not Recognized Offshore

An offshore corporation can conduct any type of business in the U.S. that a U.S. corporation can, so you sacrifice nothing by having complete privacy and a corporate veil with real teeth in it. Even if your offshore International Business Company (IBC) becomes involved in a lawsuit, the offshore courts do not recognize U.S judgments against a company incorporated in their jurisdiction. A plaintiff would have to hire an offshore attorney (there are no contingency fees) and try to convince the offshore court to hear the case. The offshore courts will not rule in favor of the plaintiff if it can be shown that the assets were moved before the judgment was filed. Once the plaintiff sees the uphill battle involved plus the enormous cost out of their own pocket, they will probably reevaluate the merits of even filing a lawsuit or will settle for a fraction of the settlement they may have received in a U.S Court.

This is why more and more doctors, professional business people and small businesses are using offshore to lower their liability insurance coverage, which can save them tens of thousands of dollars each year in premiums. Small business can also use offshore to reduce or eliminate sate income (franchise) taxes and give them other alternatives to insurance coverage that have become too expensive to carry.

Many Advantages of Doing Business Offshore

• Products or services considered too risky because of the threat of lawsuits. These threats can be put under the umbrella of an offshore company, thereby protecting your other assets.
• Business can be conducted in a regulation free environment and would not be be subject to heavy handed regulators.
• Business can run in a private and anonymous fashion.
• Business associates, creditors, ex-spouses cannot gain access to your records or financial accounts.
• Offshore Mastered or Visa can be obtained that cannot be traced.
• File liens against your domestic property.
• Protect retirements funds.
• Provide for the transmission of assets to the next generation in an efficient and discreet fashion.
• Purchase worldwide securities that are not available to U.S.citizens.
• Segregate risky assets from safe assets.

How do I Chose an Offshore Representative

Caution should be used here. Many offshore representatives are U.S. citizens who decide that they want to live on some island and take life easy. The problem with this is that they are still U.S. citizens and are still subject to the U.S. court system. Also sometimes they get tired of the good life and decide to return to the U.S. You can be left high and dry with no local representation should this occur. It is better to have an offshore representative who is not subject to U.S. laws. Many other trust companies are here today and gone tomorrow. It is important to have a stable and strong offshore representative.
