An offshore service company specializes in establishing, administering, and managing offshore company formation, private foundations, international business, funds and private foundations, offshore trusts for wealth protection, tax optimization, foreign market entry and more.   Hiring a reputable offshore service company will make it easier for you to set up an offshore company, bank account, or trust, and manage these in a more convenient and hassle-free way. Here are tips on selecting the right offshore service company:

•    Verify that it is regulated and licensed – Pick an offshore service company that is licensed and regulated by the Financial Services Authority. Find out where the company is based and make sure that it is in good standing in that country.

•    Make sure it has knowledgeable and qualified professionals – Trustees must be recognized and Licensed International Trust Services Providers who are regulated by the Seychelles Financial Services Authority. Ensure that they are qualified and existing members of STEP (Society of Trust and Estate Practitioners).

•    Look up feedback about the company – This is a good way to verify what other clients would have to say about its service. When you read feedback from other clients, look out for any complaints and other red flags that may indicate poor service. Keep in mind that you want to choose an offshore service company that is trustworthy and reliable.

•    Choose a company that is trusted by hundreds of intermediaries and private clients around the world - Reputable service providers have many different international clients from over 80 countries. This allows them to be more flexible in understanding and determining the different needs of each client, so that they can tailor their services for every individual or business.

•    Explore the services – Reputable offshore service companies offer cost-effective and efficient services and compliant solutions for global corporations, private wealth, global investors, and entrepreneurs worldwide. They should be able to provide consultation, guidance, and reliable advice. Likewise, a company must be able to assist you throughout the application process and on an ongoing basis as needs change which is where many of the assembly line corporate services firms fall short.
