Offshore entity referral. We refer; they execute.
Offshore entities (trusts and corporations in Cayman, BVI, Nevis, Cook Islands, others) offer stronger asset protection than US domestic structures and useful international tax planning. They also require significant US compliance: FBAR, Form 8938, Form 3520, Form 5471, FATCA. We refer to vetted offshore specialist firms and do not handle the offshore work ourselves. Setup typically $20K-$50K plus annual maintenance.
How we handle Offshore Entity, end-to-end.
Offshore entities (trusts and corporations in Cayman, BVI, Nevis, Cook Islands, others) offer stronger asset protection than US domestic structures and useful international tax planning.
Use case discussion
We discuss: asset protection needs, tax planning goals, international operations, family wealth structure. Different jurisdictions favor different uses (Cook Islands for APT, Cayman/BVI for fund structures, Nevis for charging order protection).
Specialist referral
We refer to vetted offshore specialist firms with US tax expertise. Each has their own pricing and process. Setup typically $20K-$50K plus $5K-$15K/year maintenance.
US compliance setup
Offshore structures require US reporting: FBAR (FinCEN 114), Form 8938 (FATCA), Form 3520 (foreign trusts), Form 5471 (foreign corporations). We coordinate with your US tax preparer.
