Forming an offshore company can be a
complicated process, which is why it always makes sense to hire a consultant.
Though you can technically register and set up your own offshore company in
some jurisdictions, there are plenty of legitimate reasons why you should seek
the help of a regulated agent. Here are some of them.
1. Form a company remotely.
Offshore company registrars prefer
dealing with trusted agents. Most offshore jurisdictions will require you to go
through a regulated registered agent who can do the legwork and ensure that
your company will conduct its activities legally. An agent essentially ensures
that your company is in good standing—and they do this by conducting
preliminary interviews, collecting and checking required documents, etc. If you
insist on doing everything yourself, if possible, you will need to physically (in
person) go through all the requirements and documentation.
2. Breeze through complicated legal
matters.
Some business owners break the law without
realizing it because they insist on going without proper guidance from a
consultant. There are a lot of legal complications involved in establishing an offshore
company, and one small mistake can cause long delays and even fines. An
offshore company formation service will make it a breeze to tread the murky
path of setting up a business entity in a foreign jurisdiction. A great
consultant can do everything correctly right from the start so that your
offshore company supports growth and lets you face the future with all legal
bases covered.
3. Do everything faster.
Hiring a good offshore company formation consultant lets you set up your company
in as little as 2 days once all necessary supporting documents have been
submitted. If you do everything yourself, if even possible, the process may
take you a few months. Consultants can advise to ascertain the exact
requirements at the time of your application and are very familiar with the
process. They can see potential problems—and help you overcome them before they
become real issues.
