Advantage of Offshore Banking

In the United States, many investors and businesses never truly feared the safety of their money in the local banks. In their eyes, these banks were untouchable, the United States was on a roll and nothing was going to cripple this system. With the FDIC protecting up to one hundred thousand dollars in your account, most did not find any reason to worry.

Until last year, we still felt safe with our banks. With an unprecedented economic crisis on the horizon, hundreds of US banks fell. Businesses, investors, and families panicked. They rushed to the banks to make withdrawals, but many banks failed and families lost their savings.

These families are still waiting for the government to help them recover these losses. The Us government faced so many struggling banks that they had to purchase many of these banks and their toxic assets.

Over the last few years, the United States has relied heavily on borrowing money from other countries. The economic troubles were so catastrophic that countries simply refused to lend money to the United States. There was no longer a guarantee that the countries would receive repayment, so they did not want to take the risk.

One way a business can protect itself from the struggles of the US government is offshore company incorporation. There are many benefits to this including tax exemption. Because the company is not a United States company, you are not required to pay most taxes on your business.

It is best to have an offshore bank account in the same country with any offshore company incorporation. This also provides better tax implications versus an American bank.

Another feature you should look for is remote assistance from the bank for your account. This helps you if you spend a majority of your time in the United States on business. With this feature, you will not need to have direct access to your bank.

Another great feature for international companies is that these banks can handle multiple forms of currency. Usually this feature comes with no transaction fees, which is great for a large company when you account for the inflow of foreign currency. Incorporating outside of the United States offers many advantages to any business, and is especially great for any international business.
