An Introduction to Company Formation in Switzerland

The success of a business venture depends on a number of factors. One of the major factors is the company location. In earlier days, it was somewhat difficult to open a company in a country which is foreign to the investor. But now, it has become quite easy to open a company in a foreign land. Therefore, entrepreneurs can now 'choose' where to open their company. Now if you are an entrepreneur then you would want to open a company in a country which facilitates business. One such country is Switzerland. Located in the laps of the Alps, this small picturesque country in Europe, is one of the most prosperous countries in the world and known to be one of the most ideal places in the world to form a business.

Now there are many advantages of company formation in Switzerland. One of the biggest advantages is the low taxes imposed by the authorities. Taxes in Switzerland are imposed at three levels-Federal, Cantonal and Communal (Municipal) levels. The Cantons are somewhat analogous to States in the USA or counties in UK. But unlike most of them, the Cantons enjoy a far greater autonomy. Each of them has their own taxation policy. The rates vary from 14 to 25%. This makes it possible to earn huge profits. There are certain companies who would help you open your own offshore company in Switzerland. They would help you open a bank account which in most cases would come with credit card and e-banking facilities. They would also offer you the services of a professional company formation consultant who would take care of all the formalities of offshore company formation in Switzerland. They would make sure that you form a legal company in Switzerland in the fastest time possible. So get in touch with these professional company formation consultants and form your own Switzerland offshore company with ease.

GWS Offshore Now Helping Its Clients to get the Full Benefits of Offshore Company Formation in Liberia

GWS Offshore is proud to announce that we now are a "Certified Company Provider" of the Republic of Liberia.

The Republic of Liberia, "Land of the free", became an independent state and Africa's first Republic in 1847 and already introduced a tax-free non-resident company in 1948. Liberia went through a turbulent history, which fortunately did not affect the non-resident companies, given that the Companies Register has always been located outside of the country (amongst others in Zurich).

Liberia is one of the most confidential offshore jurisdictions worldwide. Liberia does not intend to sign the OECD-Standard of Automatic Information Exchange and has only signed TIEAs with a few countries. Nevertheless, Liberia is and remains a white-listed jurisdiction of the OECD.

Liberia has the second-largest maritime registry. 3,500 vessels are registered under Liberia's flag, accounting for 11% of ships worldwide. Several IPOs on the New York Stock Exchange are based on Liberian corporations and Liberian corporations are being used for public offerings in developing markets.

 

Liberia

Liberia has been a favoured jurisdiction for ownership of assets and wealth protection over decades. Today, Liberia's re-emergence as a jurisdiction of choice for financial planners who wish to take advantage of its status as a confidential tax haven is apparent.

Liberia is white-listed by the OECD and is not listed by the U.S. Department of State as a country of prime concern for money laundering. Liberia simply has no tax information regarding foreign owners of non-resident entities as they are not holding assets in Liberia.

Liberia is a respected and professional provider of corporate and ship registration services. Since major international financial institutions routinely loan billions of dollars to Liberian corporations under ship finance arrangements, Liberian corporations are well-recognized by banking facilities and investors worldwide.

The main advantages of an offshore company in Liberia are:

• Low formation fees from only 1,250 USD
• Registry offers company formation within 1-2 days
• Shelf companies available
• 0% corporate and income taxes
