Confidus Solutions can offer you company formation services in any country in the world, including popular offshore locations. However, there are numerous possible jurisdictions, all offering different benefits, and so it is essential to choose the right country for setting up your company. Depending on your personal goals, corporate structure and other requirements, our professional lawyers will advise you on the best jurisdiction in which to start your business.

Before choosing a jurisdiction, it is essential to have a good general understanding of the purpose (business structure) of your company. Are you going to use your company to hold assets or perform trading activities? Or maybe it is to be a subsidiary? Depending on how you are planning to use your company, a different legal structure will offer the most efficient solution. Prior to choosing a jurisdiction, you need to decide on the structure of your business.

Choosing the best jurisdiction for your company: what you need to know
You should bear in mind that every country has its own legal conventions. For example, countries using a British-style common law system will have slightly different company formation procedures and legal business structures to countries that use a continental European legal system or Sharia law. When it comes to company formation, cultural and historical differences should also to be taken into consideration, as different regions have different cultural backgrounds and legal traditions.

While European Union (EU) countries are quite prestigious and grant access to the common internal EU market, the tax implications can be substantial, and auditing and bookkeeping standards are fairly strict, making such companies quite expensive to maintain. However, certain corporate structures within Europe may provide an efficient solution for tax-planning purposes. A business structure called the 'VAT triangle' is quite popular among foreign business leaders and investors.

For those looking for low maintenance costs and a low-tax solution, we can offer the classic options for a favourable tax regime, such as Belize, the Seychelles, Panama, Hong Kong, Gibraltar, the Isle of Man and others. These jurisdictions offer a quick and easy-to-follow company incorporation procedure as well as low or zero tax rates for foreign business companies.
