To set-up a typical offshore Company or International Business Company (IBC) prices start at £1,950 for a British Virgin Island IBC for the first year. This includes local government License Fee, initial disbursements, and Registered Office/Registered Agent Fee for the first year. These are payable in advance. After this, the annual administration costs fall to approximately £2,750 depending on actual requirements. You will pay a maximum of 5% of your profits to the local government where your IBC was set-up. Many locations do not have any exchange controls, have no company tax, no requirements to submit an annual return or audited accounts. We can assign company directors to ensure full confidentiality. We normally expect that you always name at least one local person as director of the offshore company. We will then name the other directors offshore. Some locations such as Jersey require that you register under the Data Protection Act, subject to a minimum of £1, 700 and a small fee every three years. One point you might want to bear in mind is that due to the fact that your Internet server is based in Jersey, you are advised to register your activities with the local authorities and make them exempt of any locally levied company tax (normally 20%). This is similar to registering your IBC locally. You will have to pay a minimal set-up fee of £1300 and 2% of your profits to the authorities. You can still register your IBC in any of the other locations which we serve. Any additional costs for the registration of your IBC away from Jersey would then be billed separately.
