Belize International Business Corporations (IBC) Yield Asset Protection And Tax Advantages; Easy And Fast To Establish

By Jonathan Curshen 2007

An international business corporation (IBC) is designed to facilitate four areas of money management: Asset Protection, Estate and Wealth Preservation, Secrecy and Privacy, and potential Tax relief. The Belize IBC can be used as part of a solution.

In our litigious society, each individual now has a responsibility to protect his own assets from malicious lawsuits and unfair court judgments. Courts today have little to do with justice or fairness, and more to do with who has the best lawyer and the most money and time to drag the suit through every loophole of due process.

To make assets judgment proof - from divorce proceedings, the IRS or court judgments - the only proven, time-tested method is by transferring ownership offshore. Trusts and IBC's formed in Belize are out of the reach of the U.S. courts.

In the U.S., practically anyone's entire credit history is just $15 and a phone call away. In Belize, all financial records are private and considered confidential. If you'd like to keep your wealth totally

private and secure, a Belize IBC in combination with a trust, foundation or an LLC is a low-cost common, everyday structure that will meet those demands.

International business corporations in Belize are simple to open, inexpensive to start, convenient to administer from anywhere in the world. They can be up and running in under a week. Just as with a corporation formed in your own or state or country, they can be used to establish accounts, own property, and operate businesses. You can also make investments, and have instant access to your financial data and funds through online bank accounts established with a Belize IBC. This corporate structure can also protect your assets from prying eyes, shelter your wealth from judgments, and possibly reduce estate taxes if structured properly. It is a common occurrence that is certainly 100% legal.

Thousands of IBC's start up and are run from the comfort of another jurisdiction every day. If you don't know who in your neighborhood is doing this, it's because of certain foreign jurisdiction privacy and confidentiality policies that protect this information.

By thinking of your firm - or yourself - as an international business, you are free to seek out the country that offers you the most favorable mix of the lowest taxes, the most privacy and the best asset

protection and wealth preservation legislation. Then register your business there. The Belize government has written legislation with these specific safeguards in mind.

You don't need to move your physical business, nor do you need to have any property or presence in Belize. You start an International Business Corporation (IBC) by simply contacting a registered agent or service provider with an office in Belize, and inquiring. Belize is a country that 1. has minimum or no tax on foreign corporations, 2. includes minimal government restrictions and interference, 3. provides a stable economy, and 4. heavily favors financial confidentiality and privacy.

Starting and operating a Belize IBC is a simple and easy process - even easier than starting a corporation in most U.S. states.

Upon opening an international business company you'll immediately find a great many tax and wealth preservation advantages provided to international business corporations. You're no longer limiting yourself

to taking only a few local tax deductions and credits of your own state or country. Additionally, you are well protected in the event someone wages an assault on your corporate or personal assets. Here's a simple example.

You live in the U.S. and have earned your money in whatever legal manner you earn a living; perhaps you own a small business. As a law-abiding citizen you pay your taxes on that earned income. Now you invest your surplus income locally in stocks, real estate, or other investments to try to earn a bit of supplemental income. If you are a successful investor, you move up into a higher tax bracket - then pay more taxes at a higher rate - on all of your income! It doesn't sound like you catch a break. But it's not over just yet.
