Designing beneficial wealth environments

Companies

We can assist with company incorporation and ongoing administration in various jurisdictions. Such companies may be used for:

  • Investment holding through offshore companies to reduce, defer or avoid income, capital gains and estate taxes
  • Trading: a variety of tax and commercial goals can be met through cross-border tax structuring using offshore companies
  • Property holding: you can achieve income, capital gains and inheritance tax advantages by using a foreign company to hold property
  • Financing: cross-border and intra-group financing through foreign companies can aid profitability across the group
  • Patents, royalties and copyrights: holding royalty rights in a foreign company can mitigate the effect of withholding taxes
  • Entertainment, sport and professional services: entertainers, sportspeople and professionals working internationally can reduce worldwide tax exposure through cross-border tax structuring using offshore companies
  • Yacht ownership and management: owning a yacht through an offshore company provides asset protection and confidentiality of beneficial ownership; correctly structured, this can also provide for tax-efficient acquisition and operation, whilst facilitating registration in the most favourable and convenient flag state.

We can provide nominee shareholders, directors and officers for companies and a registered and/or administrative office. We will also ensure that companies are maintained in good standing and can provide comprehensive secretarial and accounting functions.
