Today, many businesmen are taking the decision to move companies from their native land in offshore zones. The reason - the hard tax regime in the country, which prevents companies to actively develop. But where better to register a company? Those who look to the future, should pay attention to Belize, where foreign businessmen have a lot of opportunities how to organize a successful business.
Some information about Belize…
Nestled between Mexico and Guatemala, Belize is perhaps not cheapest and safest place on the planet, but it is the most stable and rapidly developing offshore. There you can register your company literally for 24 hours, providing a minimum package of documents and having only one director and one shareholder (which, incidentally, may be the same person: a natural or legal entity).
It is also important that the requirements for foreign companies in this country are very modest: the firm should have an office in Belize and an agent who will keep minutes of meetings and the register of shareholders. But most importantly, this offshore area ensures non-resident businessmen:
- complete privacy (information about directors and shareholders kept by the agent and is not reported in any state structures, and its release is possible only by court order), and even the ability to use nominee directors and nominee shareholders (they can be legally hired, which will hide the true owners of the business);
- lack of income tax, which replaced by the country's license fee (it must be paid annually, and the fee depends on the size of the share capital, if the declared capital of your company is less than 50 000 dollars, the fee is only $ 100!)
- ability to issue any shares (registered or bearer) in any currency, with a par value and without it;
- no exchange controls, property tax, inheritance and capital gains;
- opportunity to hold meetings of directors and shareholders in any place on the planet;
- and also the lack of requirements to the size of the authorized capital and the need to take the accounting statements.
What to registry?
In Belize, you can register the joint ventures, partnerships, joint stock companies, investment funds, trusts, but the most popular are the limited liability companies. But no matter what form you choose, it is important to remember that offshore companies in Belize can not work in field of insurance, investment, economic activity and work in the banking sector without a license, as well as to acquire real estate in the country (only allowed to rent the office) and hold shares of local companies.
