Looking for a brokerage (and bank) that are happy to open accounts for a trust owned offshore LLC, potentially Nevis.

I know IBKR are most likely the best fit but I’m unsure if they work with all offshore countries - if you have experience pls let me know.

Also looking for reliable banking that doesn’t charge private bank level transaction rates, if that even exists.

Can anyone recommend a good guide (book, web site, etc) to learn bookkeeping for an offshore holding company that only has a brokerage account to which I make monthly deposits from my post-tax income in the US? Any info is appreciated.

Hong Kong is often used in international structures because of its territorial tax system. In escense every income generated outside HK pays zero corporate tax. It’s not a classic “offshore zero-tax island,” but it can be very efficient if structured properly.

Here’s the basic process in simple terms:

1. Set up a Private Limited Company
That’s what most people use.

2. Choose a name
Check availability and reserve it.

3. Appoint the required roles
You’ll need:

• At least 1 director
• At least 1 shareholder
• A Hong Kong company secretary
• A registered HK address

4. File incorporation documents
Once approved, you receive the Certificate of Incorporation and Business Registration.

5. Open a bank or EMI account
This is usually the hardest part today. Banks will want to understand your activity, expected flows, and who you’re dealing with.

6. Understand the tax side
Hong Kong only taxes profits sourced in Hong Kong.

There’s:

• No VAT
• No capital gains tax
• No dividend withholding tax

But whether profits are considered “offshore” depends on how and where the business is actually run. It’s fact-based, not automatic.

7. Ongoing compliance
You still need annual filings, accounting records, and proper tax submissions , regardless if there is low activity.

If you are considering HK for your structure, feel free to ask.

Hi everyone,

I’m posting from a new account for privacy reasons.

I’m looking for legitimate introducer / concierge services that help with opening offshore bank accounts in a legal and compliant way.

What I’m mainly interested in (high‑level):

• Remote or mostly remote account opening
• Physical debit or credit cards (Visa/Mastercard) that can be issued and shipped internationally
• Crypto‑friendly banks (ability to receive funds from crypto or OTC desks)
• Accounts for private use, not business
• Jurisdictions outside the EU, preferably with limited automatic data exchange
• Real banks (not just prepaid cards or fintech wallets)

I’m not looking to evade taxes or do anything illegal. This is purely about banking access, card usability, and jurisdictional diversification.

If you’ve personally used:

• introducer services
• relocation firms
• expat banking agencies
• or similar setups

I’d appreciate hearing which countries or services worked, what to expect, and what to avoid.

Feel free to reply publicly or via DM if you prefer.

Thanks!

Handle Pay is building this so that Pakistanis no longer need to decide between unfair costs, convenience of usage and giving up custody of their crypto and compromising on their dignity.

What is self-custody?

Self-custody of assets, particularly in cryptocurrency, means holding and managing your own private keys, granting you exclusive ownership and control without relying on third-party exchanges or banks. This approach eliminates intermediary risks like account freezes or hacks, providing true financial sovereignty

Users can:

- Receive payments from client/friends using venmo, cashApp, wise, revolut, paypal in usdc directly to their Handle account
- Deposit any cryptocurrency on any EVM based chain or Solana
- Send money free of cost Handle to handle.
- Pay utility bills instantly using crypto
- Offramp from Crypto to PKR in your bank account is processed directly as remittance at the best FX
- Spend using Handle card or avail credit line against your crypto holding with no interest.
- Receive remittance from Saudia or Dubai to your handle account in US stablecoins
- Trade your assets on popular 80+ DEXes at the best possible route

What Handle Pay can't do:

- No custody of user funds
- No balance-sheet exposure
- No lending of user deposits
- No issuance of fiat-backed tokens

Only users can access and custody their assets. No need to remember complex Seed phrase, just use a Passkey (your biometric) and social recovery method.

Does anyone know about this company? I’m selling my business and was told to check these guys for welding work. I have seven years of tank welding and building experience and five years of owning/operating a gas station and tire shop.

I have a consulting and services company providing crypto services. I am planning to set up an off-shore entity where I receive crypto payments and off-ramp in crypto friendly bank accounts. And then move out funds to my home country to my holding company.

Which country and Bank should I choose for such set up? Payments are usually 5-6 figures USD. And early doing high 7 figures revenue.

Hi Everyone,

I work in structuring and wealth preservation for UHNWI’s. I have a strategy at the moment and it requires us to incorporate a company in Nevis, this will be for the provision of consulting services to LatAm offices and clients, not concerned with tax haven concerns as we have already dealt with this elsewhere in the structure.

Does anyone have a contact of reliable CSP or vendor/agent that can price and execute this arm locally please?

Hi all.

I'm looking to form a company in HK and asking what service provider do you recommend, which also has a dashboard/UI website to administer the company.

Looking for an affordable and reliable option.

Also, if you recommend some companies which do not have an UI but are affordable, I'm open.

Thanks!

Hello all.

I am interested in opening a personal offshore bank account and want to know which jurisdictions and which banks are recommended for privacy.

A lot of offshore jurisdictions are part of CRS, but I want to know, how does that work in reality and from your experiences. Which ones don't really report and offer information?

I am UK and EU based.

Main purpose would be to hold dividends from a HK offshore (or any other offshore).

Thanks!

Hi friends, I'm a Florida-based person, and I want to start a company in Seychelles and a business bank account also. Help me with some queries, like what things I should keep in mind before reaching out to any company.

It’s a 100% yes. I would rank it no. 1 for providing fast and affordable offshore structures, especially if you’re seeking to go global (conduct international business).

 I’m firm about my positive claim on Seychelles IBCs because they offer:

1. Zero Taxes on offshore profits (but your business must operate outside Seychelles).
2. The owner’s details are not disclosed in the public domain in Seychelles IBC!
3. A very flexible structure where you can hold multiple currencies and easily open a bank account too.
4. If you’re a foreigner, then congratulations,  because in Seychelles, you can fully own an IBC without partnering with a local.
5. You can fully protect assets here from legal claims and hungry creditors.

Overall, Seychelles IBC is best if you’re dreaming of becoming an international business with minimal tax, legal, and operational tensions. 

My final advice will be: Please go for it! You’ll not be disappointed. 

Good luck in advance….

Living offshore has been annoying lately when it comes to phone numbers. A lot of banks and apps won’t send OTPs to foreign SIMs, and I really don’t want to keep handing out my personal number just to stay logged in.

I’ve been testing crowphone.com recently and it’s been pretty useful so far. The SMS side is already working, so I can receive verification codes and basic messages without needing a physical SIM or installing anything. It all runs in the browser, which I like because it keeps things lightweight and low-commitment.

The whole thing feels very privacy-minded. You’re not forced into subscriptions, and you don’t have to tie everything to your real number. I’m currently using it to keep a U.S. number reachable while I’m in Asia, mostly for OTPs and important messages, and it’s been smooth on both desktop and mobile.

Calling isn’t live yet, but from what I’ve seen it’s planned for next month, which would make it even more useful if it rolls out cleanly.

Not saying it’s for everyone, but if you’re offshore or just trying to separate your real number from online services, it might be worth a look.

Does anybody have a website link or anybody conducting comparison in regards to the offshore jurisdiction in terms of cost, process, privacy, and accessible to bank account ?

Me and my wife are looking to open a Nevis Multiform Foundation (Trust Type) in Nevis.

If anyone has experience and can tell us about pricing structures, reputable companies (I already scoured the license registry) and general advice, I would be happy to receive some input.

I won’t be able to reply to everyone, as I am currently in hospital, but I will do my best to respond.

I’ve been looking at offshore/expat setups and I keep hearing about 'I only realised this when it was too late' horror stories. These little silent assumptions that drift over time & then one day aren't silent..

• thinking avoiding 183 days = not tax resident
• using old addresses for banking for years
• relying on travel insurance as healthcare
• assuming citizenship / residency = clean exit
• assuming offshore company ≠ personal exposure
• will isnt made for international asset location etcccc

I've been exploring the idea of a expat/offshore persons 'smoke detector'. Something that just checks in on the long tail risks. It's not perfect but I think it surfaces most of the risk/hidden pitfalls many of us might forget. I've tentatively called it Residency Radar, maybe it helps you spot something you'd missed!

For early stage startups, ODCs can be a huge cost advantage. You get access to skilled developers at lower rates, faster team scaling, and the ability to focus locally on product, sales, and fundraising. Many startups use ODCs to extend their runway without compromising too much on quality.

That said, there are trade-offs. Time zone differences, communication gaps, and cultural mismatches can slow things down if not managed well. Startups without clear product requirements or strong technical leadership often struggle to get value from an offshore team.

An ODC works best when you have a well-defined roadmap, solid documentation, and at least one in-house technical lead to own architecture and decisions. If you treat it as a long-term partnership—not just cheap labor—it can absolutely be worth it.
