Offshore Safe Havens
-
The company you choose should be a stable country with complimentary business ownership laws. Learn all you can about the bank and get recommendations from others who use offshore accounts. Be clear about the related costs of owning the bank account. At the small to mid-size business level, make sure there are representatives working in your company that speak the language so you are not being cheated. Legal representation is important.
