Passports, proof of address and the business description, apostilled where needed — checked before filing.

The account opened through our partner banks, and an annual compliance calendar so the company stays in good standing.
The honest map
What we'll never promise about your company
- "Zero tax, full stop" — your own residence can pull the profits back home; we plan for it
- Anonymity — owners are known to agents and authorities; private is not secret
- A bank account for any shell — banks want substance and a credible business
- One jurisdiction for everyone — the right one depends on your facts, not our catalogue
- Starting prices published for every jurisdiction
- Structures planned around your real tax residence
- Bank accounts through our official partner banks
- An annual compliance calendar, so nothing lapses
FAQ
The questions that decide structures
Which jurisdiction is right for my company? +
It depends on what the company does, where its clients and owners are, and which bank it needs. An orientation session maps exactly that — usually narrowing 28 jurisdictions down to two or three.
Can I incorporate without travelling? +
Yes. Every jurisdiction on this page can be incorporated remotely, with documents signed and apostilled at home.
Does an offshore company mean no tax? +
Not on its own. Where you live and where the company is managed can bring its profits back into your home country's tax net. We plan the structure around your actual tax residence.
Is company ownership anonymous? +
No. Beneficial owners are known to registered agents and, increasingly, to authorities through UBO registers and information exchange. Many jurisdictions keep that data off public registers — private, not secret.
Will the company get a bank account? +
Only if it's structured for one. Substance, documentation and the right bank matter more than the jurisdiction's name. Through our official partner banks we open the account alongside the incorporation.
What do the published prices include? +
The starting price covers the basic package: incorporation, registered address and agent for the first year, and the core document set. Each jurisdiction's page lists exactly what's in every package.
A company works best with the right bank account behind it and, where it fits, a residence permit or second citizenship for the people who own it — sequenced on one call.
The right jurisdiction, the first time.
