IBC in the Marshall Islands and an account with the Global Bank of Commerce Ltd, Antigua and Barbuda from 5,999 EUR

We will assist you in getting an international business company (corporation) registered in the Marshall Islands and in opening a corporate bank account in the Cook Islands with the Global Bank of Commerce. The whole procedure is carried out remotely. This is of special importance since the current pandemic announcement.

The Marshall Islands can be considered the last old-school offshore. The jurisdiction offers zero taxation, a high degree of data privacy, remote and fast registration, flexible legislation.

How can such a small country provide such a spectrum in the times of deoffshorization? This is most likely due to the fact that the Marshalls are associated with the United States, actually being a part of this state, as well as Puerto Rico. Loosening is obvious.

At the same time, this connection causes certain fears for those who seek to protect their information. As practice shows, as soon as the U.S. want any information about something, they can put pressure on any country. And on the associated state even more so. Therefore, if your task is to hide the data from the U.S., you should not expect this. According to the law, personal information should be stored and provided at the request of the authorities or the registration agent.

Also, the Marshalls will not work for those who are looking for a jurisdiction to register a bank, an insurance company or a gambling business. Please do not hesitate to write us to [email protected] and we will tell you where opening such businesses is appropriate and useful.

Otherwise, it is an extremely interesting, beneficial and accessible jurisdiction.

There are words that cannot be used since they can be misleading: Bank, Insurance, Assurance, Re-Insurance, Trust, Foundation, Charity.

The company must have an authorized capital. Most often it is declared in the amount of 50,000 dollars, but paid in the amount of just 1 dollar. Should you decide to make your authorized capital more than USD 50,000 (and if there would be more than 500 shares without par value), you would have to pay an additional tax.
