Strategies for Saving on Offshore Company Setup Cost
Business Setup Worldwide (BSW) is a corporate service provider that has been assisting business owners and entrepreneurs for more than 8 years. We can guide you through the process of offshore company formation at an affordable cost. Now, the bigger question you must ask is- how? There are several strategies you might employ to save on your company formation costs. Here are a few suggestions from us:
1. Cost-effective packages
You can save up to 60% on our offshore company setup packages. We offer three well-balanced packages: premium, executive, and executive +. Our offshore company packages cover end-to-end aspects of your offshore company setup cost. These aspects include governmental registration costs, annual fees, and additional fees, which include appointment services, a company kit, bank account opening, and company amendments, among others. Take a look at the table below to understand the scope of our packages better:
Premium | Executive | Executive+ |
You can register a corporate entity along with the office and address | This package includes certain features of the premium package and up to two additional bank account opening options | Along with the premium package features, you will get assistance with five options for opening bank accounts |
Our premium package includes company registration with a registered office and address. The executive package comprises assistance for opening two bank accounts and all the services covered under the premium package. Additionally, the executive+ package includes assistance with giving you up to 5 bank account options along with everything covered under the premium package.
Before you pick a package for your company formation, consider your needs carefully. If you are a small business owner with limited transactions, opening a single bank account will be ideal for you. So, you can choose a premium package with an add-on service of opening a bank account.
On the other hand, it is safer to use multiple bank accounts for larger businesses that have high-value transactions worth thousands, if not millions, of dollars.
We have briefly talked about choosing the optimal package to save on your expenses. Another way to save on offshore company formation is to pick a pocket-friendly jurisdiction.
