MANAGING YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OFF-SHORE
We understand the intricacies of managing your investment portfolio in a tax friendly jurisdiction. Our role is to
assist in setting up the off-shore IBC and to maintain your investment objectives to maximize the benefits afforded
to you by international law.
UNDERSTANDING THE USES OF AN IBC
Basically, IBCs or International Business Companies can be instituted for many reasons and they certainly can give
distinct advantages to business owners and investors that partake in them. Following are some of the most
common applications of IBCs.
ASSET PROTECTION AND PLANNING
Offshore trust agreements are probably most beneficial to individuals and corporate entities that wish to protect
their assets against the long reach of their local courts and unexpected but crippling litigation. IBCs are
also useful if parents would like to make sure their children will inherit a sizeable nest egg after their death
(estate taxes can significantly reduce inheritance). Easy setup is available for these, especially in terms of
foreign trusts, which are available to IBCs in Belize.
INTERNATIONAL TRADING
International trading definitely entails tax. For some trading company's, this may be a big problem. In order to
maximize profit and improve trading agreements, offshore IBCs can make trading entirely tax-free, thus administrative
costs are reduced and economies of scale are achieved.
INVESTMENT
IBCs have access to brokerage accounts through which they can acquire, maintain and easily manage a sizable and varied portfolio
of investment instruments. Significant tax exemptions and increase in profit is more than possible. International
investments are also efficiently handled even under different jurisdictions.
There are other uses for IBCs. For instance, through an IBC, an individual or a company can
offer consultancy and professional services in exchange for payments in agreements. IBCs are given the capacity
to receive maximum profit and significant tax exemptions even if they're not home-grown companies. IBCs are also
capable of becoming international sub-licensees for intellectual property rights such as patents, copyrights and royalties.
Moreover, IBCS can accumulate funds through purchasing capital equipment and leasing the particular
equipment to a company in a high-tax nation. This way, one can reduce tax duties.
