What We Do
1. International Business Corporations, Gatekeeping, Offshore Trusts & Lawful Tax Reduction
​
We recommend the optimum corporate structures that can lawfully reduce taxes on income, business and capital gains, while allowing you to maintain complete control of your cash, securities and assets. This is accomplished by creating offshore IBC, trusts and holding companies in safe, tax neutral countries and territories such as The Bahamas, The Dominican Republic, St. Kitts and the British Overseas Territories of Cayman Islands and Bermuda.

2. Power of Attorney
You will always have complete control over your cash and assets because we sign an irrevocable Power of Attorney to your lawyer, effectively putting all control back to you. This is akin to ‘bearer share’. Every financial action and disbursement must be first verified and approved by your lawyer before it can be executed. This applies to the Protector, Trustee, Nominee, Administrator and Manager. Since your lawyer provides you with complete and immutable confidentiality because of attorney-client privilege, all transactions and disbursements will be ultimately controlled by you via your lawyer while your identity remains confidential via our offshore services and companies.
3. Confidentiality
Your identity will remain permanently anonymous and your identity will be protected from foreign agencies, creditors and investigators by:
​
