    Advantages of Using Moneybookers

    I've not used Moneybookers for longer than a couple of months and already, I'm regretting it because of the fees I get slapped with. It's not only my MB per se, but the charges my local bank(s) charge for SWIFT transfers appears to be so much more than those made with PayPal. That being said...

    Non-resident accounts in the UK

    Does the UK allow non-resident bank accounts? The US has recently passed legislation disallowing opening of new non-resident accounts. This is presumably an anti-money laundering/anti-terrorist legislation (probably even anti-scams). I'm just wondering if other countries have followed suit.

    How is your Moneybookers experience?

    I signed up for MB to accommodate a European client. It works just like PayPal - except withdrawal fees are prohibitive. Or at least, the cost to verify my bank account was almost US$15. Paypal cost me only US$1.95 to verify which PP returned as Paypal balance.

    Local Partners

    My opinion is that the smartest way to handle an offshore company formation is to invite someone local to become your business partner.That person might not replace the role of professional consultants but it would certainly work well to your advance to have someone on your team who is familiar...

    Does it help you advance your eBusiness?

    Internet and computers is a geek's world, no question about that. People who aren't geeky but dabble in some sort of internet business, usually acquire a bit of geekiness - they start talking site stats, html, SEO, etc. But for people who are running traditional businesses, i.e...

    What's your reason?

    Many people venturing into an offshore business do so to avoid paying taxes they would otherwise be liable for. Either their home country's tax laws are too restrictive, or they just don't like paying taxes, period. But is that your reason, too?

    Britain's Youngest Dad

    click here for details. I was shocked to read about this young, 13-year-old boy siring a babe. I don't know whether to laugh or cry at the news. I'm saddened by it because these children have no idea how it is to be parents; they need caring for themselves.

    Cost-Benefit Analysis

    Many people assume, that because its offshore, it's a good idea. That's not always the case. Offshore company formation and location has associated costs alongside its tax and other benefits. As in any other economic decision, the option becomes a good one if its benefits exceed costs. Yes...

    Starting a Business? Hire an Accountant

    That is, if you aren't one. Many small business owners and managers do not appreciate the value of an accountant at start up. From my experience, most would want to hire one only a the latter part- when they can no longer make sense of their record-keeping. Big mistake. An accountant could help...

    PayPal is Making a lot of money off of your business.

    I believe PayPal's charges are too high especially for small businesses. Their updated fee schedules, in my opinion, would run many small business out. In addition, the PayPal conversion rate for withdrawals is considerably less than the going rates XE would quote you at any given time. I...
