I am here to learn. That's it. If I can make a few connections along the way, all the better. Your comment about being the next "licensed this and that" reveals your own insecurities. Don't put that on me. Sorry for not being willing to sign an NDA and NCA with someone I do not know lol. Would...

Hmmm... Sorry Johnny, but I usually do not sign NDA's and NCA's with people I have only met and interacted with on forums. Feel free to discuss your business ideas with me though. I am indeed looking to form business relationships in this space for the medium to long term.

I think I misspoke. From some of the service providers I have found online (advertising for the formation of intermediary partnerships), their websites state that they manage/administer offshore structures on behalf of other service providers (located in other parts of the world) who work for...

I actually haven't heard of reselling. Does it refer to reselling corps originally registered and managed by another service provider? Does it apply to other entities/arrangements besides corps? Also, what exactly does it mean to be an agent of another service provider? Sorry for the influx of...

Thanks a million for this Sols! I was leaning towards not reaching out to the major service providers under the assumption that they wouldn't value the business of a small start-up. Glad that you informed me otherwise. Do you think it will be received well if I contact a service provider...

lol... ok....

Thanks for the recommendation James. So I will need to reach out to other offshore service providers located on scene in the particular offshore jurisdiction that I would like to set up structures in? Should I make sure that these service providers are registered agents in that particular...

Hey everyone I hope my threads are not annoying people too much haha. This should be my last thread for quite a while lol.. I've mentioned in my previous threads that I am a junior associate lawyer who is interested in entering the offshore services space as an entrepreneur. Aside from...

Anyone else willing to comment on the state of the offshore services industry?

Thanks for the input guys! Both comments are extremely valuable! Opposite to the declining market for $500 simple incorporation providers, do you see any growth opportunities? A lot of my interest revolves around asset protection planning. How do you see the market for these services going...

What exactly do you mean by a high value service provider? Can you elaborate on this distinction a little bit.

Thanks Simon :)

Thanks Johnny! Would you say that the reason for this decline is CRS/FATCA? What other factors have played a role, in your opinion? Excited to hear from other posters on where the offshore service industry is headed, both negative and positive.

Hey all: I've been wondering lately about the future of the offshore services industry. I've read opinions on both sides. Some say that offshore services is a dying industry by virtue of CRS, FATCA, BEPS, AML, etc. Others counter this viewpoint by pointing out that offshore services is not...

Check out A&P Intertrust and UniTrust Capial Corp. Not sure if they form BC LLP's though. Or are you referring to a BC LP?

You're the man Johnny! :cool:

Can I PM you? Or can you PM me? I'm not sure how to PM you on here. I have lots of question. It would be great if you'd be willing to answer some of them.

Thanks for this JohnnyDoe! I'd like to offer offshore asset protection services, utilizing corporate and trust structures. I feel that asset protection services would be the best way to start, as I am not yet sufficiently knowledgeable in tax optimization. I am much more knowledgeable of...

In your opinion, is OffshoreCorpTalk a good place to start and grow an offshore services business? Doing so is my overall goal, but I am still trying to fully learn the practice and how the industry works.

Ok JohnnyDoe, but there is no law school course (that I am aware of) which teaches asset protection using offshore structures. As a recent graduate, if such a course existed, I would have taken it... lol. Typical law school courses like Trusts, Taxation, International Taxation, Bankruptcy only...
