Where to Register Your Offshore Company
This is the first question which comes to mind considering the numerous options available.

-
1Nationality of the applicant
-
2Company activity
-
3Place of residence
-
4Location of clients or suppliers
-
5Ease of company incorporation

7Regulatory and tax framework
An offshore company offers many business benefits, especially with the rise of globalisation. An offshore company set-up is becoming easier to establish without the need to travel to that particular country. The benefits of an offshore company depend on the jurisdiction of the offshore company and the laws of the country of residence of the business owners. Considering your local laws will ensure that every step you take complies with the law.
Some of the more popular offshore destinations include Seychelles, The British Virgin Islands, Panama, Mauritius, Cayman Islands, Belize, Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia (Labuan), Nevis, Cyprus, The United States of America and The United Kingdom. Every jurisdiction has its own set of rules and regulations which are suitable for different clients and/or purposes.
International laws and tax benefits are the main considerations to most business owners in setting up an offshore company when comes to transacting with counterparts from all over the world. However, there is no one particular ‘internationally accepted standard or ‘Code of Ethics’ that a government should follow in the management of its economy and the businesses within it. Foreign capital and investments have become the need in many countries and governments are striking their balance between making their local businesses climate attractive to foreigners as well as combating money laundering and tax evasion.
Our consultants have over 15 years of experience setting up companies in various jurisdictions globally, strongly supported by our international consultants and affiliates, providing business owners practical advice in all-encompassing jurisdiction requirements and guide to company set up.

The Era of Fintech
Fintech refers to the synergy between finance and technology, which is used to enhance or automate business operations and delivery of financial services (FS).
This is a broad and rapidly growing industry serving both consumers and businesses in both onshore and offshore.
Many relevant businesses/companies are applying for FS licences, and FS organisations have begun calling themselves technology companies. Fintech, or financial technology, is at the epicentre of this transformation. These industries are both using it to sharpen operational efficiency, lower costs, improve customer experience and heighten the appeal of their products and services. They are also carving out new commercial possibilities.
Offshore Business provides clients with the best options to obtain the most suitable FinTech financial services licenses based on their business requirements.

Office Solutions
The push for economic substance began in 2017 when the Council of the EU established a Code of Conduct Group for business taxation, which investigated the tax policies of both EU member states and developing countries. Following that assessment, the EU published a list of IFC jurisdictions which were required to address their concerns relating to demonstrating economic substance or be placed on an EU blacklist. It is now anticipated that these economic substance requirements will become a global OECD standard to combat Harmful Tax Practices. As a result, many international financial centres have introduced their own set of substance regulations for enterpreneurs to adhere with in order to enjoy the respective tax benefits offered.
Offshore Business offers solutions in meeting the substance requirements in selected jurisdictions. We offer workplace solutions at reasonable rates, helping businesses of all sizes to expand throughout Asia with fast, easy settling-in and minimum culture shock.
