One of the first decisions you will need to make is the type of company designation that you register. The most common choices are those of a public limited company, limited liability partnership, or a company limited by shares; PLC, LLC, or Ltd. The public limited company is a company that offers shares to the general public.
There must be a minimum of ?50,000 share capital and a trading certificate must exist for the individual or group to establish a PLC. In terms of organisational setup, there must be two directors and two shareholders as well as a company secretary, who can also be one of the company directors.
A private company limited by shares is similar to a PLC except the shares are not offered to the general public. There must be a minimum of ?1 share capital and there are a number of account filing requirements that must also be met. Every Limited company must have a registered address.
The shareholders of the company have limited liability which can offer some protection against any financial losses made by the company itself. A limited liability partnership, or LLP, is another popular form of company formation. An LLP operates completely independently from its founder members financially and legally. As long as the business is run legally there should be no recourse for directors of that company in the event of it struggling financially or facing legal problems.
Every type of company formation has its own requirements, and these must be met before filing a formation with Companies House. A company formation agent can discuss the various options with you, look at your existing setup, and advise on the type of company designation that would be best for your business. Choosing the right type of company formation can help ensure that your business, and its members, has the greatest chance of success.
Once you figured out what offshore company you want incorporated in a certain tax haven / offshore jurisdiction you want to find a merchant account for accepting credit cards on the Internet for your business. There are hundred of opportunities here for you, one is to simply apply for a 2checkout.com account, they accept most offshore companies another is skrill.com (former moneybookers) who accept offshore companies as well. Then there are all the underground payment processors which you need to pay attention too and be carefull with, some may scam you and take your money and vanish. Others will take very high fees and you need to accept it, but hey you don't pay tax so it may be okay.
Then there are a few left who take some reasonable transaction fees and processing fees and which you can relay on for long term, depending on your business and your chargeback rate. I don't have any links here at the moment for such processors but will post one in a few days.
In the meantime feel free to post back here with comments and suggestions.
