Offshore company formation
Offshore companies can form part of a cross-border trading, investment or ownership structure. The jurisdiction and company type need to suit the intended activities, ownership and place of management, with continuing record-keeping and filing obligations considered from the outset.
Business bank account application support
A business bank account supports trading receipts, payments and day-to-day cash management. Banks review the company’s activities, ownership, source of funds and expected transactions, so the application needs to explain the business as well as identify the company.
