When you consider registering an offshore company in any offshore jurisdictions and you main income comes from your online business, you will quickly find it difficult to open a offshore bank account and to find any payment services provider which will accept your business for credit card processing.
An Offshore company is often considered as High Risk just because of its location in an Offshore jurisdiction, therefore it is important when you start your incorporation of an offshore company to make sure the offshore company formation agency is able to help you to open both a offshore bank account and a merchant account (to accept credit card payments) for the company.
You will need to register your offshore company in an offshore jurisdiction which gives you the privacy and asset protection your are looking for but you will also need to have the offshore company formation to take place in an offshore jurisdiction which enables you to open the bank account and merchant, or you will need to have the offshore company to register a new company within a jurisdiction where you are not limited by any bank. Offshore jurisdictions like Panama, Belize, Seychelles and British Virgin Islands are not good jurisdictions when it comes to a merchant account, you will need to have your offshore company in for instant Cyprus. With a Cyprus Offshore Company you will have access to a large number of banking services and offshore / onshore banks. With a Cyprus offshore company it is possible to keep the privacy and asset protection you seek but still have all the possibilities to trade online.
As mentioned there are two ways you can establish your offshore company structure if the main purpose is to trade online. One is to have a offshore holding company structure where the Holding company is located in an offshore jurisdiction which gives you maximum asset protection and privacy, then have the offshore holding company to register another offshore company in for instant Cyprus (or any other European Country) by choosing Cyprus you will have a 100% protected offshore company setup. A good alternative could be to have your Onshore company (any company located in an non offshore jurisdiction) to register a offshore company in Cyprus, that would still protect your privacy and assets and at the same time not limit your possibilities.
