What is an Offshore Company?
An offshore company is a legal entity established outside the owner’s country of residence, typically in a jurisdiction that offers financial, tax, and regulatory advantages. 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.
