Why choose an international company formation
Companies want to make best use of resources, minimise costs and maximise on results and profits.
Trading may not be limited to the UK.
Incorporating outside of the UK can provide benefits in respect of:
Tax efficiency and minimisation
It can be advantageous to utilise the low or fixed corporate tax levels of some jurisdictions
Protection of assets
Assets held by a non-UK company can enjoy additional anonymity and an enhanced separation of ownership from the beneficiaries
Confidentiality
Banks and the registering authorities are understanding of the sensitivity of the international market place and competition and respect the confidentiality of the corporate structures
Global status
Incorporation in the international arena raises the profile of the company to customers and competitors
Trading worldwide
The international company facilitates worldwide trade
Uses for International companies
Investment Holding concerns International trading Property owning Internet trading
Professional services Shipping Patent, Trade Mark, copyright and royalty Insurance
Captive insurance
The list is not exhaustive.

Ongoing Corporate Compliance
Once your international company is incorporated it will be obliged to comply with the legislation of the jurisdiction in which it has been incorporated.
It may need a local agent. It may have to comply with domiciliation requirements e.g. charities must be resident.
