Whilst a number of specific
Business and Investment strategies lend themselves
to Offshore structuring, generally speaking, people
choose to register a Company and Bank Account "Offshore"
from their usual country of residence for
one of 3 key reasons:
1. Financial
Privacy/Tax Minimization
He who controls the wealth makes the rules! Most
countries offering Offshore Company registration
have very strict privacy laws which make it extremely
difficult (if not near impossible) to determine:
 who owns the Company;
and
how much money the
company is making.
By making it difficult for others to determine the
exact extent of your
income and assets you gain greater control over
your wealth.
2. Asset Protection
By transferring your wealth abroad, to purchase
Offshore Investments or Assets for example, you
make your wealth much less vulnerable to attack.
In the age of American styled litigation madness
it makes sense to make it as difficult and as costly
as possible for would-be vultures to track down
and quantify your wealth.
3. Access to
High Return Investments
Many, perhaps most, high return Offshore Investment
opportunities are not open to onshore investors
(qualified, meaning extremely wealthy, investors
excepted). Establishing an Offshore entity allows
you access to this wider universe of investments
otherwise unavailable to you as an onshore resident.
