我们是低成本供应商

The low-cost model is spreading in many markets: airlines, tourism, manufacturing, housing, finance, ETC… There was a time when the customers were doubtful regarding low-cost airlines (safety, reliability, ETC). But within a decade: the prices were so low that the customers were too attracted to ignore them. After almost a decade of offering PROMINEE® services (we are approaching the 10th anniversary of this website): the customers are starting to understand that they have been paying too much for some services. The debacles of some expensive competitors prove that very high priced operators are not a guarantee of trust & reliability. ... Read more

Barbados saysnoto Intellectual Property

After Belize, Barbados is the next country to alter their assets rules for IBCs and ISRLs (International Society with Restricted Liability). IBCs and ISRLs will be phased out on the 30th June 2021, and all companies will be converted into RBC (Regular Barbados Companies). This was done under the pressure of the OECD and the EU Code of Conduct Group. If you want to re-domicile your Barbados company: 联系我们.

Belize IBCs banned to be holding companies

It is not very surprising that Belize continues to shoot itself in the foot. It probably shows that this jurisdiction is just after your money (and they do not care about serving you). In two regulations (dated 2018 and 2019), the government has banned: all IBCs from holding Intellectual Property (!) all IBCs from being holding companies (holding shares of other companies). Penalty is: US$25,000 for the first offence, and US$100,000 for any subsequent one. If your IBC is a shareholder of any other company in the world: you are committing an offence. If you want to re-domicile your Belize ... Read more

Comoros: Anjouan and Mwali do NOT have financial services

There was a time when Anjouan had a (temporary) financial market (gone since 2005). Another one is still online: called the MISA (Mwali International Service Authority). The website and laws are in English: whereas the official language of the country is French. This Authority is completely fake, and is attached to the island of Mohéli. Everything is fake, including this fake bank. A warning has been published since April 2014 by the Central Bank of the Comoros (although only in French). The list of licensed banks is here: there are only 4 banks in the country. There is even an ... Read more

特朗普将如何影响非美国居民的美国实体?

What do LLCs, LLPs, S-Corps, and Partnerships have in common? They are all pass-through entities (simply: not subject to a corporate taxation). Under a new Trump tax proposal, the pass-through entities status will be revoked and will be taxed at a 15% federal tax rate. Such plan will immediately transform all LLCs in the US into a corporation, as federal corporate tax is concerned. This however is to be compensated by switching the US to a territorial tax system. First of all: at the time of writing, these proposals have not been approved nor been passed as a law yet. It ... Read more
