Welcome to Abaco Ltd

2. Abaco formation, Worldwide Incorporation Services It is completely legal to have an International Business Company (IBC), Limited Liability Company (LLC), trust, foundation, bank accounts and credit card accounts. You cannot be sued or prosecuted for simply owning any of these. You may own any or all of them without fear or guilt. Tax avoidance is legal, while tax evasion is not. You have a personal responsibility to legally avoid paying any more in taxes than is necessary under the law. So said Judge Learned Hand.

3. An IBC (abbreviation for International Business Company) is a company that is registered and based in an “offshore jurisdiction”. The term “International Business Company” is used to describe it because it is formed in a jurisdiction that is outside one of the major industrialized countries. It usually carries certain benefits, including income tax, privacy, and financial as well as security benefits. When you form an IBC, you are generally in complete control of the assets of the IBC, in control of its bank accounts and of all transactions done by the company. The income to the IBC is sometimes taxable in the country where the beneficial owner lives, immediately it is earned. This differs from income that you earn through shares purchased in a company in your homeland. The general rule for such shares is that you have a taxable event only when you receive distributions in the form of dividends. In the case of the IBC, you may be taxable in some countries of domicile, even if you have not repatriated (i.e. brought home) any of the income. In others you may not be. Although the provision of Bearer Shares could enable the owner of an IBC to conceal earnings through the IBC, it is evasion of taxes to fail to report and pay taxes in one’s homeland and could carry serious penalties.

5. ASSET PROTECTION TRUSTS As the world economic situation totters on the brink of a cliff, with the World Bank predicting food riots worldwide due to increasing food prices and the banking infrastructure faces an imminent impending crisis, desperate people will do anything to eat and maintain their wellbeing.  Much of the world is just nine meals (three days) away from lawlessness and uncivilized behavior.

6. Your own offshore international bank  We can arrange the setting up of your own offshore international bank in any of a number countries, including our personal recommendations, namely St. Vincent & the Grenadines and Dominica, both in the Caribbean. Offshore international banks have remained relatively stable while banks in the developed world have experienced all kinds of trauma in recent years because banks in the developing world have not exposed themselves to the toxic debts that have devastated the banks in the developed countries. Offshore international banks are less likely to be involved in money laundering and the financing of terrorism than the banks of Europe and America, in spite of attempts to stigmatize them with such labels. This has been so while these offshore banks have been operating creditably in the mainstream of international finance.

7. Your own offshore insurance company As a rule insurance companies are more stable than banks. The reason is that they receive premium payments at regular intervals and arrange their business in such a manner that their payouts in claims are generally lower than their income. The most obvious exceptions are when disasters strike unexpectedly as in the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and the meltdown at the Fukoshima nuclear reactor in Japan. An offshore insurance company is a viable alternative to a domestic insurance company. Your offshore insurance company may be unrestricted or restricted. The unrestricted insurance company is called a General Insurance Company. Such a company has a wider range of permissible investment opportunities. The restricted is called a Captive Insurance Company. It is an excellent vehicle where a business wishes to self-insure its employees and/or activities. It is especially attractive for a company owning several medical clinics or where several physicians, dentists or other medical professionals form a co-operative and insure their practices through their own captive insurance company.

8. your own offshore mutual fund and/or hedge fund A good alternative to an offshore international bank is an Offshore Mutual Fund or an Offshore Hedge Fund. Such a fund will not offer all the services of a bank, but will concentrate on investing the funds of clients and/or one’s family. It offers investment possibilities that are global and unrestricted in scope. A Hedge Fund normally concentrates on preserving capital while seeking income. The company formed to apply for the Mutual Fund or Hedge Fund license may be an International Business Company (IBC), Limited Liability Company (LLC), Segregated Cell Company or Unit Trust, depending on the structures permitted in the jurisdiction. Abaco Ltd is a global force in arranging international vehicles for investment and can arrange for the set up of such funds in a number or jurisdictions around the world. Our current recommended locations for such vehicles are the British Virgin Islands (BVI) and St. Vincent & the Grenadines (SVG). We are able to arrange for the production of offerings or prospectuses, where required, for the appointment of directors, the licensing of investment companies and administration companies as required by the regulatory authorities as providers of necessary services to the Mutual Fund.

9. Bank/Credit Card Accounts You are strongly advised to keep some of your funds in a jurisdiction other than the one in which you live. The reason is that with the increasing financial crises in most of the developed world, you can expect stricter controls on how much cash you can take out of your country and even send out of your country. If you need to travel abroad for less expensive medical treatment (as to India for example) or you wish to go on vacation or to visit family overseas, or to take care of business, it would be a definite advantage to have funds parked in a safe bank outside or your country which you can access by bank wire, by Western Union/Money Gram, or at an ATM. IBCs Now can set up an account for you in the Caribbean or Europe or Asia that can make your life a whole lot more secure. Please contact us at info@abacoltd.com
