January 2011 – Offshore Company’s, Trusts and Foundations for Asset Protection, Money Laundering or Tax Savings – this is the picture drawn up by the government’s all around the world, offshore jurisdictions like Panama, Belize, Nevis, Cook Islands, Bahamas/Nassau and many others gave up on the pressure from the major EU countries and the USA – It is almost no longer possible to hide any money transaction if it is done electronically by Bank to Bank transfer or Credit / Debit card transfers, nor is it possible any longer to hide behind a Offshore corporation if the company has a bank account, also not if it is a so called offshore bank account, why not?  – The answer is pretty simple and straight forward, in the so called old days (about 2 – 3 years ago) and before the financial recession which hit the world economy the procedure to open a bank account in an offshore jurisdiction like Panama, Belize, Bahamas, Cyprus and beyond many other jurisdictions were simple, just provide some sort of corporate documents and have a nominee to sign on behalf of the company, the banks didn’t asked for a clear and transparent company structure which shows the beneficial owners (real owners of a company) not did they care much about if the passport, utility bill or any other document provided was real and up to date! – This was a kind of a loop hole for many also sadly enough for criminals who were able to finance there activities through offshore corporations and accounts worldwide.

Now what has changed?
Actually today it is very clear, if the purpose of an Offshore company and a connected offshore bank account is money laundering, tax hiding or financing of any sort of criminal activity one won’t be able to go any further with it, the entire process will be stopped at the latest by the bank’s around since today it is required to provide proper prove of company and account holder, this has to be able to be verified one way or another.

But there are still Offshore company Agents who offer 100% bullet proof corporations and bank accounts, so it is not true what you say?
This is 100% nonsense and nothing “bullet proof” today as already mentioned above no Offshore Trust, no Offshore company, No Foundation, No Fund will ever provide anything that is “bullet proof” as known from the past, actually, providers / companies that claim they have such an solution simply lie and want to pick up the money from your pockets and nothing else, or they are not used to keep know how the world looks today and tomorrow they still offer solutions which were possible for 4 or even 10 years ago, this to the great negative personal impact it can have to the people who buy from such companies / offshore providers.

Of course there will always be options out there to hide money, there will also always be options around who may be tools to finance any criminal activities but today’s governments and their Intelligence services will catch people sooner or later, don’t be naive!

So why do you still sell Offshore corporations?
Actually there are many reasons for why one will incorporate a offshore company, one of them is privacy and anonymity another is reducing tax and then we have finally creditor protection in special circumstances.  What do we mean with “Special Circumstances” – this is one of the most overlooked items a offshore corporation can be used for, for a brief explanation read on, while it is very easy for any creditor to get a court order to access the assets of a resident/local company if they are unable to pay their bills because they are close to file bankruptcy then it is very expansive and in most cases impossible to access assets of an offshore company!  This can be a key factor if the entrepreneur behind a new company maybe just had to little knowledge about the companies activity but want to start again just without the mistakes that forced the first company to file bankruptcy.  Or companies that have been in business for ages but hit by the financial recession or other circumstances that force the company to file bankruptcy, there are many reasons and incidents  that can describe ” Special Circumstances” for an entrepreneurs starting a new venture it is crucial to protect the personal future and not spoil it because an idea which simply not will work. While some only look in the direction of Offshore companies and offshore bank accounts because they want to hide from the tax authorities or because they have any sort of criminal activities going, then we are glad to tell the reader that we have many who are incorporating an Offshore company for the above mentioned reasons and as well not mentioned reasons.

What are the best offshore jurisdictions to incorporate?
There is no “best” offshore jurisdiction, for the time (2011) we recommend the incorporation of Seychelles companies because they are still very protected and almost untraceable in regards to owner ship, also for asset protection they are the perfect tool, most often we recommend a Seychelles company in combination with a Cyprus company if the business activity will take place as well in Europe or if the purpose is a Holding Structure.

A bank reference will be needed from any personal bank account you currently have, this will be in the form of a letter and will be required from all the signatories, directors and shareholders of the account you are planning to open.

You also need to send the bank where you want to open the account a board resolution that choices the approved signatories. If you are hiring the services of an agency in your bank account application then they will be responsible for preparing this for you.

Once you have completed all the necessary documents and filled in the forms correctly ensure they are all signed and then they are to be sent together to the bank where you wish to open the account. Once your Cyprus bank account is open you can then make a deposit into it, normally this is in the region of 1,000 USD, 1,000 Euro or 500 GBP.

Any bank account opened in another country, apart from your own country, is considered an offshore bank account. Whether you are looking for a personal offshore bank account or a corporate offshore bank account the appeal of offshore bank accounts is the amount of tax you will save.  Recently, rules and laws governing an offshore bank account have become a lot stricter. Any bank account holding over $1,000 USD has to be reported as income to the IRS, even if that bank account is located in a jurisdiction such as the Cayman Islands. Some companies and more affluent individuals choose to open an offshore bank account in the smaller sovereign states as they permit account holders to stay close to anonymous.

You decided to find out more about the benefits to have a offshore bank account with a Visa Debit Card, through this post I will explain a bit about how to get the bank account and the Visa Debit card in Cyprus.

In general it is most common that people outside Europe want to have a way to accept payments by Wire transfer for larger amounts, or to pay their bills by Bank Transfers, often an IBAN number is required for the bank account for other companies to make a Wire Transfer to a European Bank Account. In some countries it isn’t possible to just open a bank account in the local bank and that’s where it is a major benefit for companies and individuals across the World to be able to open a Cyprus Bank Account and also get a Cyprus Visa Electron Card connected to that account.

The Visa Electron Card can be used in all ATM’s around the world and have no limits, except funds needed to be available on the account.
There are also other reasons for companies or individuals to open a Cyprus Offshore Bank Account, one could be assets protection another could be to simplicity the payment transfers from companies in Europe to non European Companies.

Did you know that it is only possible for any authority in the World to get access to your Cyprus bank account if they can proof that you are involved in Money Laundering or financing of Terrorism? Most people are not. What does that mean for me? Simple, if you for any reason get in troubles with your creditors or you, by court order, have to pay everything you owe to an Authority or to a creditor because you really owe the money to them, then it is not possible for anyone to access the money on your Cyprus Bank Account, which make it possible for you to start a new venture later on or to secure your private finances to be able to exist in the future until you get a regular income again.

Now while you have a Cyprus Bank Account, then you might want to have easy access to your money, this is what you get with your Cyprus Visa Debit Card, you do not need to make a Wire Transfer to your local bank account and wait 2 -3 days for the money to arrive, no you access you funds immediately 24 / 7 / 365 that mean you will always have cash in the hand as long as you have money on your Cyprus Bank Account.

Interested? Sure I was too, and it is very easy to get this thing started, you only need a Reference Letter from your local bank which includes a letter of good standing and some ID with a picture of yours, once you have this in place it needs some application which is about 2 -3 pages and only thing you need is to read it and sign it, that’s all. Typically it takes about 2 – 3 weeks for the Cyprus Bank Account to be operational and to issue the Cyprus Visa Debit Card.

Did you know that Cyprus is a full member of the European Union? Yes but why care? Because you can get a offshore bank account in many countries and islands but your money isn’t secure there, often the banks are not regulated by any authority nor they don’t have any political infrastructure. It will put up some red lights on your business partners minds. Cyprus is known for its integrity and its banking infrastructure and your money, business and assets are secure there. You do not need to worry each day if everything is still there, it is.

Who can open a Cyprus Bank Account and get a Cyprus Visa Debit Card?
Every individual or company in the World can get it, as long as you have a reference letter and a letter of good standing together with valid ID.
