I can mention the first one in place of him. The one starting with H is HSBC. https://www.hsbc.com.sg/ It's customer satisfaction rating is as low as 1.2 stars out of 5: https://www.consumeraffairs.com/finance/hsbc.html The internet has lots of stories of people finding their corporate...

Glad you got it sorted out. I think this is quite common for them, they provide nominees specifically to ensure owner's privacy. They indeed are not cheap!

That seems like an interesting requirement, which of course is a better alternative than paid staff. In this case though I hope that server also includes server management, you need someone to maintain it!

Interesting, thanks. I'll put this to my mind. Life sucks for them. Most of them find doing business extremely hard, and it's nothing because of their dumbness but because of international regulations against Iranians. Iranian people succeed by constantly evaluating their options, hope that...

Actually let me clear one common misconception about prohibited services and whether you are about to mask it when establishing a bank account/service/etc. If there is an actual legal reason on services you cannot offer (e.g. in laws specifically regarding offshore companies), then you may be...

No, sorry, I have no idea of this. Maybe someone else can answer this question for you. It's quite easy to find out the fees through: list out what you need and then shop around and ask for various services and their prices. More information about the UK: Set up a private limited company -...

The offshore agents I've contacted mainly have requested a photocopy scan of the plastic credit card. They have also specifically said that they do not accept virtual credit cards or nameless plastic credit cards. So they mainly just don't want to accept the cards. Whether the gateways can...

What exactly is the benefit of specifically having a BVI company in contrast to other offshore jurisdictions?

I should maybe say my opinion here and say that it is extremely important you take up a good-quality web hosting offer. I can't believe how many times I've spotted absolutely abysmal "web hosts". I don't recommend skimping on this if you consider doing business online even for a moment. But...

"Minutes" is a semi-jargon term which refers to "a package of official notes produced per each board meeting". Per each board meeting, you are supposed to produce a minute book. Each book should include: Your Articles of Association/Constitution Any official Memorandums you are required to...

I would be interested in more details about this. Is this a citizenship you can buy and get it immediately onto your hands? Or does this require residency? So far the cheapest citizenship-by-investment program which is at least somewhat reputable is the Dominica, where the fees to become a...

I'm curious, how would this show out in practice? I'm already aware that it's really hard to find a reputable bank who accept offshore companies (e.g. none of the Caribbean ones are reputable). Is this also true for merchant account providers? But do they, if I use nominees? I've seen claims...

@drillbill Nominees will almost certainly not volunteer to be sued or punished by legal systems if anyone sues your company. I believe the original purpose of nominees was to give the UBO (Ultimate Beneficial Owner) additional privacy. If someone simply requires to get records of company...

@drillbill AFAIK all offshore countries require that you do accounting, but most of them do not legally require you to disclose those annually. I personally would at least save the records of app sales. In the unlikely situation someone's going to ask for your accounts, you at least have...

@icecold "Where company is managed" is of course a fluid term, and if a tax officer ever inspects you then they define what it means. ;) Practically, if one runs an internet business, and that person travels around the world regularly (as a digital nomad), the two places of note is the location...

Frankly I don't know but my conversation didn't include any addresses, so I would personally assume no. Unfortunately this is all I know. The link I posted was removed, but the person who wrote that article has a personal forum, you may try your luck there. Other sources detail at least two...

Just wanted to chip in with some new information: Not all offshore agents accept virtual credit cards. This means that even if they say they accept credit cards, it may not apply for virtual ones. Please don't make the mistake of loading up a VCC and then realize you need your $2000 back. If...

Political resistance is the biggest once. Financial resources are not a problem, wealthier countries happily loan any kinds of money to poorer ones while they ensure the poorer ones will build things like microchip passport and automatic tax reporting with them. Talk about morality when this...

So far, what I know is that all services require at least your personal details, this typically means a passport but some also accept driver's licenses or ID-cards. This can be enough to kill the $2500 limit. Most services also require other details, like residency proofs, which can range from...

Instead of "scammers" I would say "desperate people who have no idea what they're doing". Which ironically is not far from being a "scammer". :) Most people don't really care about you. Not trusting anyone by default is just a healthy way to put things. In regards to services, never pay for...
