Complete
Recent Shelf Structure Package
We provide you with
a new corporation, a recent Shelf Foundation, Bank Account Introduction,
Mail Forwarding Service, & a General Manager/Advisor Contract.
The structure that
we generally recommend to our clients is a dual entity structure
consisting of a Private Interest Foundation holding ownership
of an International Business Corporation.
We recommend the dual entity structure because it provides the
utmost in asset protection, anonymity, privacy, and convenience.
The corporation holds all major assets, such as commercial businesses,
real estate, etc. and the foundation acts as a holding company
to the corporation, receiving profits into the foundation's corporate
bank accounts and brokerage accounts.
To understand the entire role of the foundation within this structure,
you first have to understand the composition of the foundation.
The Private Interest Foundation has four main parts:
- Founder: The founder is the person or entity
that forms the foundation in the public registry. Our firm generally
provides a nominee founder, and provides you with a pre-signed,
undated letter of resignation from the founder immediately upon
incorporation of the foundation. At that point, the founder holds
no control.
- Foundation Council: The council serves the
same function to the foundation as directors do to a corporation.
The council's names and passport numbers are registered in the
public registry when the foundation is incorporated. For protecting
the privacy of our clients, we generally provide a nominee council,
and provide pre-signed, undated letters of resignation from the
nominee council. At that point, the council holds no control.
- Protector: The Protector is the ultimate controller
of the Foundation. Immediately upon incorporation of the foundation,
the council appoints a Protector, through a notarized Private
Protectorate Document. Since the document is a private, non-publicly
registered document, the Protector remains 100% anonymous. From
that point on, the Protector has full control over the foundation
and all of its assets.
Beneficiaries: The Beneficiaries are appointed through a Private
Letter of Wishes, which is written by the Protector. The letter
of wishes is a private document, so the beneficiaries remain 100%
anonymous. The letter of wishes can be changed or modified at
any time only by the Protector.
The foundation is established to serve four primary purposes:
1. Serve
as a holding entity for the Corporation: Using the foundation,
you can avoid the use of bearer shares and/or shares issued to
your personal name. The foundation can be named as the shareholder
on the share certificates of your corporation. You control the
foundation anonymously through a Private Protectorate role. As
Protector, you appoint the beneficiaries through a private letter
of wishes (or a more formal set of foundation By-Laws). Since
both the Protector and the Beneficiaries are both appointed through
non-public (private) documents, they remain 100% anonymous and
confidential.
2. Serve
as beneficial owner when opening financial accounts:
Today, due to the global scare of terrorism, etc. most offshore
tax haven jurisdictions have implemented laws that require their
banks to obtain "declarations of beneficial ownership"
when establishing corporate bank accounts. Keep in mind that in
most offshore jurisdictions, such as Panama, the banks are required
to maintain this information under strict confidentiality under
the bank secrecy laws that are strictly enforced. However, if
you do not wish to sign the declaration as the beneficial owner
when establishing your corporate accounts, the foundation can
serve as the beneficial owner for these declaration purposes,
and the nominee foundation council can sign the declarations on
behalf of the foundation.
3. Serve as a testamentary vehicle for distribution of
your assets to your heirs. Under Panamanian laws, Foundations
assets are "non-embargable", and "non-sequesterable",
meaning that no one may freeze the assets under any circumstances
- providing the ultimate asset protection vehicle. The Panama
Private Interest Foundation is specifically designed to cherish,
protect, and distribute your assets to your beneficiaries upon
a triggering event, such as your death or incapacity. Your foundations
letter of wishes, written by the Protector, will serve as its
"living will", detailing the foundations assets, list
of beneficiaries, and how and when those assets are to be distributed
to the beneficiaries. Since the inheritance is coming from outside
of the beneficiary's domestic country, the inherited assets are
not subject to any of the standard taxes and legal procedures.
Through the foundation, your heirs will receive their inheritance
free of probate, gift taxes, estate taxes, inheritance taxes,
or legal delays.
4. Serve as a vehicle to facilitate the transference of
funds offshore, and the repatriation of those funds back
onshore: Since the foundation is a charitable entity, it may receive
donations, and it may give donations/grants, etc. to anyone you
choose. Hence, you can donate your funds to the foundation. In
turn, the foundation can provide educational grants, charitable
donations, etc. to anyone you choose.
