We’ve just introduced you to the concept of an instant offshore bank account – and I am pretty sure there are those of you who will require significantly more information before you can determine whether this is the right solution for your current requirements. Therefore, we’ve decided to go into more depth about the package available…
The Seychelles offshore company and guaranteed offshore bank account solution available – either off the shelf and same day, or bespoke according to your naming requirements – is robust and scalable. What’s more, it’s available from an onshore located specialist in international company formation and bank account establishment, not some dodgy, seedy and probably illegal operation being run from a less than transparent office set up somewhere in the cyber world.
In this article we’ll discuss the simplest package available – and in a subsequent article we’ll go more in depth with the scalability of solutions available to bring in greater flexibility for international trading and increased privacy and security options for example.
The package available from our associates, who have been in business for the last 12 years offering such solutions, is robust and guaranteed – but what does guaranteed mean? It means that if you can supply proof of your ID in the form of a passport, and proof of your residence at an address pretty much anywhere in the world except America and you can pay the required fees for the company and the bank account, you will be guaranteed a company and a working bank account.
You will not be asked to visit a bank in person.
You will not be asked for further ID.
You will not be asked for notarised or ‘apostilised’ copies of critical documents.
You will not be asked for bank references.
