  • Offshore Company Formation Process 

    The formation of an international offshore company is fundamentally different from conventional company formation. It can be divided into three simple phases (stages) as shown below.

    Offshore Company Formation Process

    1st phase: Issue a request to set up a company

    In order to form a company, Privacy Management Group requires a written request from you. Depending on your preference, this can be issued using our form for online company formation or via email*.

    Upon receipt of this request, Privacy Management Group will check the availability of the company name you selected and the validity of the documents you forwarded to us with or after the request.

    To form a company, Privacy Management Group will always require:

    • a copy of your passport or ID card, and
    • a copy of a utility bill with your current address.

    A utility bill can be an electricity bill, a telephone bill, a mobile phone bill or a water bill.

    Upon receipt of the documents listed above, you will receive a debit note via email.

    We offer the following options for payment: VISA, MasterCard, Paypal, European bank transfer, UAE bank transfer and WesternUnion.

    This concludes Phase 1.

    2nd Phase: The Formation of Your Company

    Upon receipt of payment, we will proceed immediately with the formation of your company, the preparations for the opening of your desired company bank account and, if so desired, the establishment of a nominee agreement and the set-up and activation of our office service.

    The formation of the company concludes Phase 2 of the process.

    3rd Phase: Account Opening

    Based on your company documents, your personal preferences and the information you share with us, Privacy Management Group’s Banking Service will create a complete package with pre-prepared applications for opening an account, establishing access to online banking and obtaining a Visa and/or MasterCard (as chosen by you). These documents will be prepared on your behalf and sent to you via email.

    All you need to do is check and sign the application documents and return them to PMG via courier. (Contact information for the courier service will be provided to you via email at the same time as the above-mentioned documents).

    The opening of your preferred bank account and the activation of your card(s) and online banking service will be carried out by the corresponding banking institution. Privacy Management Group will never receive access to your PIN, Digipass or card numbers.

    Conclusion of the Company Formation Process

    You can proceed with business activities as soon as the company has been formed, you have received original copies of the relevant documents (your “Corporate Kit”), your business account has been opened and your online banking service and Visa and/or Mastercard have been activated.

    Your company can now become commercially active and avail itself of international banking services.

    The opening of your business account concludes Phase 3.

    Asset Protection

    CFC-Management-Services

    The taxation of companies on an international level generally follows the principle of decision-making power. A company is thus taxable in the country where ‘Management & Control’ is exercised. In general, international authorities assume that ‘Management & Control’ of a company is exercised in the same country where the general manager/director resides.

    Therefore, if you live outside of Panama, it makes sense to have at least local managing directors/directors in Panama. The level of authority of these Nominee-Directors can be determined individually according to personal needs and legal requirements.

    In addition, in most cases at least one foreign business address or even a foreign business premise is required. For this, we offer appropriate packages, with which this can be verified.

    Note: It is of course also possible to hire local managing directors instead of using nominee directors, should you prefer to do so. We are happy to advise you on the one-off and running costs upon request!

    Annual fees are only due after the first 12 months

    The annual fees are not due for payment until 12 months after the formation of your company in Panama. In the following years the settlement of the annual fees follows a 12-month cycle.

    For example: You establish a company in Panama on 14.07.2019. The start-up fees already include all the costs for the first year, with the exception of costs for optional services. After 12 months, at the latest on 14.07.2020, the annual fees for your company in Panama are due for payment (plus any optional services). Subsequently, the payment date recurs every year on 14th July at the latest.

    Renewal of the management fee annually USD 820.00
    Registered agent annually USD 325.00
    Registered office annually USD 325.00
    Corporate franchise fees annually USD 394.00
    annually

    Annual fees are only due after the first 12 months

    The annual fees are not due for payment until 12 months after the formation of your company in the Seychelles. In the following years the settlement of the annual fees follows a 12-month cycle.

    For example: You establish a company in the Seychelles on 14.07.2019. The start-up fees already include all the costs for the first year, with the exception of costs for optional services. After 12 months, at the latest on 14.07.2020, the annual fees for your company in the Seychelles are due for payment (plus any optional services). Subsequently, the payment date recurs every year on 14th July at the latest.

    Renewal of the management fee annually USD 190.00
    Registered agent annually USD 210.00
    Registered office annually USD 210.00
    Corporate franchise fees annually USD 190.00

    The taxation of companies on an international level generally follows the principle of ‘location of decision-making power’. A company is thus taxable in the country where ‘Management & Control’ is exercised. In general, international authorities assume that ‘Management & Control’ of a company is exercised in the same country where the general manager/director resides. .

    Should you intend not to take on the position of local manager/director, despite having an investor visa, we can provide you with the appropriate trustee-service that will manage this position for you – a nominee is a natural person residing in the UAE. Similarly, should you not wish to officially appear as a shareholder of your Freezone-company in RAK, even in this case we can satisfy your requirements through the use of an appropriate Nominee-company. Let’s talk about it, we are at your disposal!

    CFC-Management Packages

    The international CFC-Rules are of particular importance when a Panama company wants to, for example, send invoices to companies based abroad.

    Each country implements CFC-Rules on a national and individual basis and thus makes different demands on the substance and structure of a foreign company. For the benefit of your customers, business partners and contractors and with the aim of not losing them, for example through ‘denied business expenses’ in your country of residence, you should adapt your company to international standards. In regards to this we can support you with one of our management packages.
