Detailed information on offshore companies is outlined below:
Offshore jurisdictions that offer low tax or no tax legislation relating to companies have often been described as having a sense of “mystique”, an adjective frequently used in literature to describe those countries particularly located in the Caribbean. Associated with this sense of “mystique” is the commonly held misconception that offshore companies and the countries that offer other financial products of a tax friendly nature are somehow involved in improper activities.
Today, the words “offshore” and offshore company are not only accepted as being associated with Caribbean countries such as the Cayman Islands, British Virgin Islands (BVI), and St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), but also with land locked countries such as Switzerland, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and other principalities such as Monaco. Indeed, with the increase of global commercial activity, and the continued reduction of trade barriers, legitimate tax savings and other corporate benefits can be achieved by using the following legal structures:
Limited Liability Companies formed in the USA; Limited Liability Partnerships (LLP) formed in the UK; Limited Liability Partnerships formed in Estonia; Anstalts and Foundations formed in Liechtenstein; SOPARFIs incorporated in Luxembourg; and Societe en Commndite par Actions (S.C.A.) & Societe Anonyme Monegasque (S.A.M.) incorporated in Monaco, for example.
At Oakfield Corporate Services Ltd., we believe in assisting our clients in their desire to achieve legitimate tax savings and other business objectives, through the use of corporate structures formed in traditional offshore jurisdictions, the 25 EU Member States, the USA, and elsewhere.

Some of the advantages of using a company, particularly one that is formed or registered in an offshore jurisdiction, are as follows:
