In today's ever changing society the respect for an individuals or corporative right to privacy has been lost completely. First Advisor allows the owner total control over their assets in the complete PRIVACY of a Tax Haven. All business, including investments and banking, is conducted under corporate ownership, keeping the names of the shareholders, directors and officers completely private. All personal and corporate transactions are carefully watched and, in some cases, if you deposit more than a certain sum of cash it is reported to various government agencies. For example, in the vast majority of cases, offshore banks are even forbidden by law to disclose client information. IS THERE ANY SOLUTION? FIRST ADVISOR can provide you with all the necessary information for solving satisfactorily the problem. We look at your situation, and consider some different advantages and uses that can be made of offshore. If you reside in an onshore country, there is no privacy when incorporating a local company. Information relating to the names of past and current shareholders, directors, officers and financial records are easily obtained through the corporate registry and are available to anyone for a small fee. Fortunately offshore companies are not under such regulatory disclosure requirements, and benefit from extremely flexible legislation and the absence of direct taxation, ease of operations and political stability. OKAY, BUT IS IT LEGAL?  Yes. It is absolutely legal to form a company, establish a Trust, open a bank account and conduct other business in a Tax Haven. However, you should check with a lawyer in your country to confirm these legalities. Each country has it's own policy. *All of our clients receive personal and strictly confidential service Let us know how can we serve you better. Click here for the contact information.
