What we will need from you to establish an offshore company

Before we can establish your offshore company, we will ask you to provide us following documents and information:

Individual positions in an offshore company can also perform by only one person. To increase your anonymity, it is appropriate to use the services of local professional nominee directors and shareholders - in this case, you will only need proof documents for the beneficial owner.

Information on managing director / director of the offshore company

Offshore company's managing director is a statutory body usually listed in the registry and entitled to conduct legal acts on behalf of an offshore company.

Required documents

  • copy of the passport
  • copy of the identity card / copy of the driving license
  • copies of invoices for water, electricity, gas or waste or extract from a private bank account - invoice or statement must be addressed to the managing director in person

Information about the shareholder of the offshore companies

Shareholder of an offshore company is the owner and exercises its ownership rights especially in the company - typically a change of directors, change of name, etc.

Required documents

  • copy of the passport
  • copy of the identity card / copy of the driving license
  • copies of invoices for water, electricity, gas or waste or extract from a private bank account - invoice or statement must be addressed to the shareholder in person

Information about the beneficial owner of the offshore company

Beneficial owner is the person in whose favour the offshore company has been founded and managed. Beneficial owner of the offshore company is usually its owner - the shareholder, which is obviously not the case for the use of nominee shareholders. Beneficial owner is the ultimate client that requires the establishing an offshore company.

Required documents

  • copy of the passport
  • copy of the identity card / copy of the driving license
  • copies of invoices for water, electricity, gas or waste or extract from a private bank account - invoice or statement must be addressed to the beneficial owner in person

In some specific instances additional documents may be required - typically eg. bank references, etc.

The major purpose of above-mentioned documents is to proof that this is indeed a real and existing person, who requires the establishment of an offshore company in a tax haven!
