What's the deal to get a live bank account for ready-made company?

[colotx]

I'm new to the forum and to Company acquisition. I want to know how some service can sell me a ready-made offshore Company with live bank account? Means an offshore account that has already been approved by the bank and that I can start operate as soon as I have paid for the package?!

On other threads I read that's not possible, how can they do it?

It is not going to happen that you get a live bank account!! No bank‌ will accept a client that is not verified and if an agent sell you a‍ already opened account then it will be against the banks regulations and he risk his⁠ entire relationship with the bank.

If we say you would get such an account just⁤ for a moment, then I'm sure it soon would get closed once the bank finds⁣ out that the account owner has changed without to notify the bank.

I tried for about 2 years to take over a dormant company that had an‌ already operative bank account. The message from the bank was clear, the freeze the account‍ after the first transfer I received because the sender of the funds put my name⁠ on it 😀 so they checked the registry in Cyprus and my name pulled up.

So this may work for non Cyprus companies or companies that have nominees appointed but other⁤ than that.. I don't believe it's a good idea.
