Offshore 10 Commandments

If you are thinking about "incorporating a company offshore" the following should be carefully considered to ensure that your offshore company strategy is kept private and legal. The following activities relating to the management and administration of a fund or offshore incorporated company must take place at the Foreign Principal Office of the fund/company, or at another office outside of the United States:

1. All communication with shareholders, including provision of monthly statements of accounts, investment reports, annual financial statements and all other reports, financial or otherwise.
2. Communicating with the general public.
3. Soliciting sales of shares of or subscriptions into the Fund.
4. Accepting and processing subscriptions from shareholders.
5. Maintaining both the corporate records and books of account of the Fund.
6. Auditing the Fund's books of account.
7. Distributing payment of dividends, fees and expenses, including legal, accounting management and investment advisory fees, as well as payment of salaries and other expenses of the Fund.
8. Publishing the Fund's share prices, whether at the net asset value per share, or the bid (redemption) and offer (subscription) prices. 9. Holding board (directors) and shareholders' (members) meetings.
10. Accepting redemption notices from shareholders and affecting the redemption of the Fund's shares or shares in the IBC for such shareholders.

It is important to note that while there are may companies that tout that they are able to provide incorporation services many fail to inform you that these companies need to be legitimize as to avoid problems which may arise from a creditor attacking the credibility of your company. This can be done without too much hassle with an Offshore Management Company in the form of an Offshore Office. This is the one thing that legitimizes your offshore or onshore company in the eyes of your home state.

Presenting a professional image is extremely important when building the integrity of your new incorporation. Basically, this is the proof that you are truly a business. It is your insurance policy.
