The First Thing That You Must Do |
|
It is vitally important to remember that you should take whatever legal advice is necessary before proceeding to incorporate. You should be in possession of a plan, vetted by a reputable tax advisor, familiar with your background and the tax laws of any state or country that may, at any period, consider you to be taxable. We may ask that a copy of such a plan be communicated to us. This is for your protection. It could be that your initial reasons for incorporating cannot be determined by us, although we can refer you to the appropriate professionals for legal or tax advice. When applicable, you should know who your shareholder(s), director(s), Chairman and Secretary are, the overall structure of your company and where it may interact with other businesses of which you are aware, and you must confirm agreement by all parties before you proceed further. Again, this is good business sense and is intended for your protection. We also strongly recommend that you read the "Simulated Loss Review", prepared by Lynwood Bell, of Hansa Bank & Trust, as this sets out very clearly the importance of maintaining the integrity of any international financial services structure, and the consequences of failing to do so.
