Offshore Bank Account
OffshoreShield can assist you in opening an offshore bank account.

We know all to well that many solution providers seem all to eager to sell you a bank account. They are not really interested whether it suits your needs, because they never asked the right questions. Offshore bank accounts usually require deposits and set-up time. The last thing you want is to be ready to start your business only to find out the offshore bank account you were sold doesn’t suit your needs.

Tax authorities in many countries have stringent penalties in place for people who do not submit their signatory authority with regard to offshore bank accounts. Nominating a third- party professional to act in this capacity for an offshore company, who is not subject to these requirements, is an ideal alternative solution.
There is no reason to suspect that this will be abused if it is structured correctly under Panama’s strict business confidentiality laws. It is advisable however that a nominated signatory is chosen who has considerable involvement in the business and has total familiarity with its workings and income streams. It is preferable, in our eyes, to nominate a law firm, which should be trustworthy, but tends to be a more expensive solution and can cause added delays; if you prefer this alternative, however, we can provide the service for considerably less than other law firms and pride ourselves on speedy and effectual execution.
What is most important is that our clients ensure that they protect their anonymity so as not to be placed in a position where they would lose their tax deferred status that the Foundation is designed to create.
By taking out the maximum protection you will be able to:
- Avoid foreign account procedures that are now in existence in places like the USA and Germany. There are severe penalties in place for the non conformance of reporting signature authority regarding foreign bank accounts.
- Create an ‘arms length’ approach to the legal rights of your assets. You do not own or control the assets in an open capacity.

What offshore investment can offer?
There can be many reasons why people wish to set up an International Fiduciary Structure: asset protection of cash, real estate and retirement funds, for example, or simply taking advantage of reducing taxes which offshore IBC’s offer.
Respective tax laws around the world do not generally require corporations that are not involved directly in local markets (i.e. not having local physical offices) to pay capital gains tax. Using a foundation mechanism through either, Belize, Nevis, Costa Rica or Panama, whose laws do not require offshore companies to pay tax on income earned outside their respective habitats, gives full benefits to enterprises following this mode of setup.
Key points and guidelines at a glance
In order to give you a brief outline of some of the general queries we receive, we have compiled a short summary of pointers.
You do not hold shares of the IBC-You are not required to pay tax on earned capital if a foundation (in theory) owns the business rather than it being in your name.
Foundations versus Trusts-An International Private Interest Foundation relating to asset protection has proved a satisfactory replacement to that of a Trust, since new laws were passed to charge tax on assets on the latter.
No requirements for reporting assets in a Foundation and complete protection and confidentiality-You do not have to report assets in a foreign foundation and you can be fully assured that no information regarding a client is held in any public record.
A client maintains control over the assets in an IBC and is able to pass them on at expiry?-Foundations do not in theory have owners, only a Founder, councils and beneficiaries. Upon a client’s death they are transferred to the beneficiaries.
Retrieving money back to a domestic country without paying tax-there are several ways, but the main avenue for large amounts, is to take out funds in the form of loans from an IBC for a given period and then renegotiating the loan on maturity.
An IFS can help reduce domestic business income-There are several ways to do this. One option is that the IBC invoices the domestic business for services rendered. There are several other options available. If you are interested finding out more, we will be happy to provide the information or alternatively review re-invoicing services for more details.
Protecting real estate through an IFS-Title for property can held by a domestic corporation of a limited liability company and a mortgage on the property can then be placed on it by the IBC. Depending on each country, there are several creative tax plans possible.
The simplicity of setting up off-shore IFS -The first stage is to choose the name for the IBC and the Panamanian foundation. It is then a simple matter of completing the order form (Click here), submitting it to us together with a scanned/faxed copy of your passport and proof of address.
Whilst we have tried to cover most of the FAQs, being able to discuss with you the many benefits and options available on a one to one basis is by far the best option. We can tailor a package that suits your individual requirements and expectations and gives the maximum return on your investment.
Why the need for offshore business services?
Relocating your assets for better protection, best returns and reduction of taxes is one of the smartest decisions you can make. Helping you take advantage of the many offshore investing opportunities that are designed to minimize taxation and keep your affairs private is what we know best.
By selecting a professional management firm like ourselves, that can advise, guide and direct you on offshore financial services and corporations can give you full peace of mind that everything is handled professionally and correctly and enables you get the best return on your money.
How our creative business services work
Clients using the auspices of an offshore business place themselves as directors of the corporation but negate publicly any exposure of being the owner/director of an IBC and their assets. It is a perfectly legal and sure way to ensure a person still controls their assets and keep their beneficial interests intact.
In order to avoid being forced to repatriate assets by a court in your respective country, we can provide management solutions to ensure you have complete authority with no risk. The most effectual way of doing this is to enable the corporate nominee shareholders to issue you a Power of Attorney with regard to running the business. Thereby, you will be acting as an appointed officer without actually being recognized as being one and yet still be completely absorbed in the daily dealings of the business.
Whilst you would have control and protection of the company, it is important to remember that whilst you have a POA, you could be investigated to determine if you were acting as though you were an extension of the company which could have dire consequences. There is a solution of not having your name associated in any way with the enterprise by ensuring you do not sign anything in name on behalf of the company. The nominee shareholders can enact this for you, not only on company resolutions and agreements, but as signatories for bank accounts etc.
By using our nominee services, you can be assured your name is not related to any part of the business, whilst having full control of all its assets and transactions.
