Questions
Offshore and holding companies: common questions
Do you accept nominee directors and shareholders?
Yes, provided we can identify and verify the individuals behind the nominees and understand the arrangement.
Which jurisdictions do you accept?
Our clients are based both onshore and offshore: in Canada, the United States, the UK and the EU; in the Cayman Islands, the British Virgin Islands, Nevis, the Cook Islands and the Isle of Man; and in iGaming centres such as Malta, Gibraltar and Curaçao. Other jurisdictions are considered case by case.
Do you need tax information?
We ask for tax residency declarations for the entity and its owners. We do not provide tax advice, and clients remain responsible for their own tax obligations.
Can my corporate service provider apply on my behalf?
Yes. Introducers can submit applications with the client’s authority, and we can keep them informed with the client’s consent.
