Facts About International Business Corporation
International Business Corporation (IBC) is
an entity that offshore business and investment
is usually conducted with, it is used to hold
or segregate Dangerous Assets that are located
overseas, that you would not want to own directly
in the Asset Protection Trust (APT) or Offshore
Trust.
The International Business Corporation and
Asset Protection Trust are two most popular
arrangements for holding overseas accounts.
Sometimes, it much more convenient to open
a bank or brokerage account in the name of
a corporation than in the trust thus the International
Business Corporation plays an important role. |
Corporations are permitted
and recognized by law in every country, and
they have a standard set of rules which govern
the management and operation of a corporation,
plus all banks have already in place proper
account opening procedures.
For a number of years, many of the major banks
were not familiar with or knowledgeable about
APT structure and chose that the accounts
be opened in the corporation name, although
now it is lesser of a problem. The fact that
except for the British Commonwealth countries
other prevailing civil law in Europe does
not recognize the legal entity called trust.
Banks who don’t have previous relationship
with the trust company will insist to have
a corporate account opened, with well-established
account opening and maintenance procedures.
In these situations, an International Business
Corporation can be formed with shares issued
to or held by the Asset Protection Trust.
Most of tax haven jurisdictions have approved
legislation facilitating the formation of
International Business Corporation.
Banking or conducting business where the International
Business Corporation was formed is not necessary;
in reality portability is the main advantage
of the IBC. A Corporation formed in the Bahamas
can open a bank account in any other country
including the United States. What the bank
will be requiring is the articles of incorporation
and a corporate resolution by the directors
authorizing the opening of the account and
assigning a person to act as signatory for
the corporate account. A proper identification
of the signatory together with the requirements
will enable an IBC account to be opened anywhere
in the world.
The International Business Corporation with
a corporation set up in the US, must publicly
file the names and addresses of the officers
and directors of the corporation in the state
where it was formed. Shares must be registered
in the name of the real owner and a stock
registered listing the names and addresses
of each shareholder must be maintained, and
the stock register can be subpoenaed by any
government agency or by the plaintiff in a
lawsuit. The people behind any domestic US
companies are readily identifiable to any
third party investigating the matter. The
International Business Corporation approach
is a well known approach for those with funds
or business interests overseas.
