Offshore Companies:

An offshore company (non-resident company or international business company) is a business entity that is registered outside the country where its beneficial owners reside, in a so-called offshore zone. Due to the legislation of the majority of offshore zones, such companies have no right to conduct substantial business in its country of incorporation in order to benefit from tax exemptions.

Offshore companies may benefit from a variety of tax advantages, such as non-existence of any taxation of corporate profits or gains whatsoever (British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Bahamas, Dubai); local tax exemption for non-residents of that jurisdiction (Gibraltar, Channel Islands); zero tax on companies that are owned by non-residents and operate solely outside country (Belize, Seychelles); tax holidays for certain types of investment (Portugal, Netherlands Antilles, Denmark); favorable tax treatment through treaties and agreements with the investor's home country (Cyprus, Barbados, Malta, United Arab Emirates).

Going offshore is a safe way to protect one's assets. The majority of offshore governments uphold strict confidentiality laws for banks, corporate registries, and trust companies. These laws protect offshore investors from third parties, including both private and governmental authorities.

Registration of offshore company is fast and simple. All registration formalities can be carried out by a local Registered Agent, without personal involvement of the company owners.

In "STATUS" Legal Bureau we can also offer nominee director and/or shareholder services, and virtual office service.
