Hi, Everyone
I'm new at the forum and have some questions about setting up an offshore corporation with real corporate bank account.
Here is my situation: I'm a U.S citizen whom has an online business opportunity I'm about to invest into. This business will operate online and offshore. I want to set up a Belize IBC with a Cyprus corporate bank account. Since I need a real bank account and someone to sign contracts and enter into agreement on behalf of the company, I arranged someone in mainland China that I can control to be the beneficial owner of the offshore company. I want to remain as anonymous as possible and at the same time offer as much protection for the dummy beneficial owner as possible since this business isn't permit in China.
My questions are:
1. Should I use nominee shareholder and director services or just use fake ids for the dummy owner to register the company?
2. Since I will have to use real passport to open Cyprus bank account, will there be a problem since two sets of the documents are different? Do Cyprus Bank compare records with incorporation agent or Belize company register?
3. Besides Cyprus, which country also offer offshore banking services without asking for a bank reference letter? I know Belize banks will actually reach out to the bank that issues the reference letter. The problem is Banks in China don't have such a thing as bank reference letter, they only provide certificate of deposit which doesn't include contact information as required by belize banks.
I appreciate any inputs and suggestions.
