Let’s talk about Delaware (as of 2024): 3 myths to debunk
The marketing about Delaware is very strong online. It is supposed to be America’s first corporate state, where all the Google and Microsoft of this world are incorporated. So when you need documents you can get them fast and online?… Wrong. Myth #1: all documents are available quickly online When you order any documents by post, you could get (at least?) a copy online: wrong… You do not get anything by email, not even an email confirmation when they are shipped. But there is worse. Myth #2: when you order documents, you get a status update by email or by ... Прочетете още
How the EU killed the British Virgin Islands (BVI)
Since 2019 the British Virgin Islands (BVI) have adopted the Economic Substance (ES) regulations under the pressure of the European Union (EU). They apply to some specific activities (the „relevant activities“) which most people would use the BVI for (ie: holding companies). Any company or limited partnership has to show that either: it has an economic substance in the BVI (ie: local employees and/or local managers) or it is tax residence somewhere else than the BVI. It would make no sense (at least to most people) to hire local employees just for the sole purpose of creating an economic substance ... Прочетете още

PROMINEE® is banned in Russia
A formal email was received from the Russian Federal Service for Supervision in the Sphere of Telecom, Information Technologies and Mass Communications (ROSKOMNADZOR) that our PROMINEE® website has been blocked from Russia. A reference to the decision of the Kungur City Court (Perm Territory) No. 2a-3556/2023 dated 2023-12-25 (on Christmas day?!) has been made but the decision is nowhere to be found (a VPN in Russia is needed to see the court’s website). Why? Without access to the court decision, one can only guess that it could be because PROMINEE® is attached to a company registered in the USA, which ... Прочетете още
Примерен случай: an illegal Trust in Belize
Sometimes the most basic legal structure can be completely depraved to become something illegal. Take for example this married British couple wanting to create a Trust in Belize. They contacted a licensed local agent, and paid a hefty fee to create a Trust (7x times more expensive than PROMINEE®). During the Trust Deed drafting time: the spouses expressed their wish to be able to contribute to the Trust. The licensed local agent in Belize created a chimera: a Trust with 2x Settlors/Grantors! Not only that but they never sent out the signed Deed to their own customers. For those unaware ... Прочетете още
Примерен случай: from Nevis to our Trust
Twenty years ago, a Nevis LLC was incorporated and kept all those years until the agent became stupid/greedy/absurd. While the Nevis agent cannot be named, the limit was reached when the agent added this service: Discard all mail received, at a fee of $100 per annum This agent charges US$1,000 for a Nevis LLC incorporation, then US$700 per year for the maintenance, plus an extra US$100 per year just to throw mail in the trash… By switching to our Trust service, the customer paid £350 GBP for the first year, and will pay £150 GBP per year for the subsequent ...

Примерен случай: инвестиционна компания
Similar to a holding company: an investment company can open a brokerage account and start investing in the stock markets around the world. If you are in a country that has investment restrictions (economic patriotism), or in which the yearly management is expensive and burdensome: you can outsource and organize it into another country. The implementation requires two legal entities: a trust and a company (acting as a trustee). The trust will shield away your ownership while still granting you full control over the assets. The trustee company will give you the flexibility and a bundle of two Nominee Shareholders: ... Прочетете още
Примерен случай: холдингова компания
The ultimate goal of an entrepreneur is to sell its own company: this often marks a lifetime achievement and the potential ability to retire with a lump-sum of cash. From an entrepreneur you can become an investor (another great next step). There is no other way than using a holding company to maximize the future investing ability. There are so many great things you can do with a holding company: it gives you more options. Let’s say that you want to change the ownership of the company owned by the holding company, but to do this you have to: go ... Прочетете още
Примерен случай: законово изискване
The most common use case of our services is to meet a statutory requirement for a specific legal form (this sentence seems so general, but if you want an explanation keep reading). Let’s say that you want to incorporate or create an association. The legal requirement in your country for this type of company is to have 2 persons, but you are alone. You do not want to involve family member, or you are scared of potential problems in the future, or trusting someone newly met makes you feel uncomfortable. Whatever it is: the fact is that you are alone ... Прочетете още
