Packages Comparison 2014: Comparison of the different solution for your offshore company creation in Hong Kong, Seychelles, Samoa, Dubai, Mauritius and the Bank account opening assistance
2. SOLUTIONS
TODAY’S CHALLENGES
Business owners and wealthy families are facing an increasing pressure. Being
successful and having efficient business model is no longer admired in most
parts of the world.
Resentment and jealousy are triggering unwanted curiosity and time
consuming questioning when in the same time the highly competitive
business environment requires your full attention.
Facing globalized challenges, with the appearance of new competitors, laws
and regulations, should be compensated by the Internationalization of your
opportunities and solutions.
Your local tax advisors and financial consultants are overwhelmed by new
LOCAL laws and regulations and too often badly analyze the opportunities of
transferring activities and assets.
As a matter of fact you are free to travel and conduct business where you
want to. You are free to establish yourself in different countries and even to
change your nationality.
Today your freedom should be supported, documented, explained by
professionals to the relevant authorities; we are freedom protectors and
advocates.
3. Theses additional services not included in the packages
HONG KONG ECO
WITH BANK ACCOUNT IN
HONG KONG
Hong Kong company with Hong Kong
bank account, multi-currency and internet
banking, debit card with access to 350’000
ATMs in the world
The beneficial owner is the director and
shareholder of the Hong Kong Company;
he or she appears on a register of directors
and shareholders which is publicly
accessible on internet for a small fee.
The company has an address in Central
Hong Kong, a company logo with
letterhead, invoices templates and
business cards as well as email account
under the company name.

Accoplus Corporate Services.
This Hong Kong company is founded by an
offshore company, usually a Seychelles
company, which will be the shareholder of
the Hong Kong company.
The company will open a bank account in
Hong Kong and could have as director an
individual of any nationality and country
of residence with the understanding that
both the director and the beneficial owner
of the company should be present in Hong
Kong for the bank opening.
The Seychelles company, with no public
access to director and shareholders
register, not only adds a shield of privacy
but also offers the opportunity to open a
second bank account (with additional fees
required) to receive the dividends of the
Hong Kong company.
The Hong Kong Company will have an
individual director and a Seychelles
company as shareholder, this offers a total
confidentiality to the beneficial owner
while strictly respecting the new Hong
Kong company ordinance.
The individual nominee director will
attend the bank opening meeting with the
beneficial owner and sign a power of
attorney as well as a undated resignation
letter.
The nominee is a Hong Kong resident,
qualified as an experienced professional,
speaking English and available for the
bank meeting in Hong Kong, selecting a
nominee abroad would complicate the
process.

5. Theses additional services not included in the packages
OFFSHORE HONG KONG
WITH BANK ACCOUNT IN
HONG KONG
An offshore company without access to
the register of directors and shareholders,
a correspondence address to receive your
mails and bank statements at our Central -
Hong Kong office. Company logo with
business cards, letterhead and invoice
templates plus email account under the
company name.
All this with our bank opening assistance
services, preparation of KYC / compliance
file for the Hong Kong bank, organization
and assistance during the meeting.
Offshore jurisdiction could be Seychelles
or Samoa, both widely recognized in Hong
Kong as excellent offshore structures.
Without travelling to Mauritius or Hong
Kong for the bank account opening.
Your Seychelles company opens a business
bank account with multi-currencies,
internet banking and debit card with a
Mauritius bank and benefits from the
protection of two different jurisdictions.
Using Accoplus services (a Hong Kong
corporate services provider) to setup a
Seychelles company which in turn opens a
bank account, without your presence, in
Mauritius is clearly an advantage of
business globalization.
The Seychelles Company opens a
bank account in Mauritius and uses our
nominee services for the director and
shareholder position. Corporate nominee
services offered by our company are
somehow overprotective as Seychelles
offer no access to directors and
shareholders details.
This package is using corporate directors
and corporate shareholder, the same
company for both functions, a company
owned by us and used for this purpose
with few customers.

8. JURISDICTIONS
CONSIDERATIONS
Hong Kong
“No tax is levied on profits arising abroad, even if they are remitted in Hong Kong.”
This sentence defines for many the advantage of setting up a Hong Kong
company.
With more than 170,000 new companies created last year and a total of 1.1
million companies Hong Kong is a vibrant place.
Chinese foreign policy is always respectful of other countries sovereignty and
defensive to have his own respected, European and American influences are
limited.
Seychelles and Samoa
Both jurisdictions enforce privacy laws.
Seychelles with a population of 90,000 only, is becoming a major offshore
center and transparency requirements from both Europe and USA aren’t likely
to receive a warm welcome.
Samoa with 190,000 inhabitants and 30% of its GDP with services follow the
same path.
Mauritius
Statutory protection of confidentiality via banking secrecy provisions –
disclosure only by direction from the Supreme Court and tax authorities.
Mauritius code napoleon laws is also triggering some complexity for daily
management of local offshores companies, a reminiscence of French
complicated regulations, therefore we use only Mauritius as a banking
location without using their local offshores companies.
