What is an Offshore Company?

These companies are often used to optimize tax obligations, protect assets, enhance privacy, and facilitate international business operations. Offshore companies are fully legal when set up and operated in compliance with local and international laws, making them a strategic tool for businesses and individuals aiming to expand globally or safeguard their wealth.

Common Questions

What is the timeline for setting up an offshore company?

The timeline varies depending on the jurisdiction, the complexity of the company structure, and the documents required. Typically, it takes 1 to 4 weeks from the initial consultation to complete the setup. Some jurisdictions, such as Delaware, can be faster, while others like Singapore or Hong Kong may require additional time for compliance checks.

Are offshore companies legal?

Yes, offshore companies are entirely legal when established and operated in compliance with the laws of the chosen jurisdiction and the country of residence of the business owner. They are widely used by businesses to optimize tax, protect assets, and streamline operations globally. At NomadicX, we ensure that all structures are set up in full compliance with international and local regulations.

Can you help with opening a bank account?

Absolutely - although we cannot guarantee results, as ultimately the decision is made by the bank. As part of our offshore company setup service, we assist in opening corporate bank accounts in reputable institutions within the chosen jurisdiction or internationally. We handle the documentation process, guide you through the requirements, and ensure you meet the banking standards for account approval.

Do I need to visit the jurisdiction to set up the company?

In most cases, you do not need to visit the jurisdiction physically. Many jurisdictions, such as Hong Kong, Singapore, and Delaware, allow for remote company registration through authorized agents. However, certain banks may require in-person meetings for account opening, depending on their policies. We provide full guidance and alternative options to ensure a seamless experience.
