Offshore advantages
There are many benefits to offshore business and these are very individual. The main offshore advantages include:
Anonymity of ownership and protection of property
Anonymity of ownership is the key to avoid various business risks, e.g. from business partners, government authorities, criminal organizations, in case of divorce, and so on. Our advice to any entrepreneur is that at least part of your ownership should be anonymous. Finding the owner of this property would be impossible for governments and other lenders.
Tax optimization, low or zero income tax
Offshore tax optimization can easily save considerable amounts of money in a surprisingly high number of cases when your personal and corporation finance and taxes are properly and carefully planned. Precise and professional tax planning could optimize your corporate taxes and you would be able to use saved money for further investments or dividend payout.
Property protection
Property protection is considered as the biggest motive for establishment of offshore companies. This is a formal separation of property from its real owners. In crisis situations, such as litigation for example, you would be able to avoid losses and secure your assets which have been gathered for many years.
Investment protection
Protection of investments is related to the contractual agreements on promotion and reciprocal protection of investments between countries. These contracts have paramount importance which for example consists in guarantees of free movement of capital, profit, interests, dividends, payments, compensations for expropriation of investments or losses. These contracts have priority over laws in SR. Slovakia has concluded such agreements with many countries. Foregin companies operating in SR on behalf of these agreements are usually exposed to more correct conduct by the authorities than a Slovak company.
