Abaco formation, Worldwide Incorporation Services
It is completely legal to have an International
Business Company (IBC), Limited Liability Company
(LLC), trust, foundation, bank accounts and
credit card accounts. You cannot be sued or
prosecuted for simply owning any of these. You
may own any or all of them without fear or guilt.
Tax avoidance is legal, while tax evasion is not.
You have a personal responsibility to legally
avoid paying any more in taxes than is necessary
under the law. So said Judge Learned Hand.

• IBCS
• (INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COMPANIES)

An IBC (abbreviation for International Business
Company) is a company that is registered and
based in an offshore jurisdiction. The term
International Business Company is used to
describe it because it is formed in a
jurisdiction that is outside one of the major
industrialized countries. It usually carries
certain benefits, including income tax, privacy,
and financial as well as security benefits. When
you form an IBC, you are generally in complete
control of the assets of the IBC, in control of
its bank accounts and of all transactions done by
the company. The income to the IBC is sometimes
taxable in the country where the beneficial owner
lives, immediately it is earned. This differs
from income that you earn through shares
purchased in a company in your homeland. The
general rule for such shares is that you have a
taxable event only when you receive distributions
in the form of dividends. In the case of the
IBC, you may be taxable in some countries of
domicile, even if you have not repatriated (i.e.
brought home) any of the income. In others you
may not be. Although the provision of Bearer
Shares could enable the owner of an IBC to
conceal earnings through the IBC, it is evasion
of taxes to fail to report and pay taxes in ones
homeland and could carry serious penalties.

ASSET PROTECTION TRUSTS
As the world economic situation totters on the
brink of a cliff, with the World Bank predicting
food riots worldwide due to increasing food
prices and the banking infrastructure faces an
imminent impending crisis, desperate people will
do anything to eat and maintain their wellbeing. 
Much of the world is just nine meals (three days)
away from lawlessness and uncivilized behavior.

Your own offshore international bank 
We can arrange the setting up of your own
offshore international bank in any of a number
countries, including our personal
recommendations, namely St. Vincent the
Grenadines and Dominica, both in the
Caribbean. Offshore international banks have
remained relatively stable while banks in the
developed world have experienced all kinds of
trauma in recent years because banks in the
developing world have not exposed themselves to
the toxic debts that have devastated the banks in
the developed countries. Offshore international
banks are less likely to be involved in money
laundering and the financing of terrorism than
the banks of Europe and America, in spite of
attempts to stigmatize them with such labels.
This has been so while these offshore banks have
been operating creditably in the mainstream of
international finance.

Your own offshore insurance company
As a rule insurance companies are more stable
than banks. The reason is that they receive
premium payments at regular intervals and arrange
their business in such a manner that their
payouts in claims are generally lower than their
income. The most obvious exceptions are when
disasters strike unexpectedly as in the oil spill
in the Gulf of Mexico and the meltdown at the
Fukoshima nuclear reactor in Japan. An offshore
insurance company is a viable alternative to a
domestic insurance company. Your offshore
insurance company may be unrestricted or
restricted. The unrestricted insurance company is
called a General Insurance Company. Such a
company has a wider range of permissible
investment opportunities. The restricted is
called a Captive Insurance Company. It is an
excellent vehicle where a business wishes to
self-insure its employees and/or activities. It
is especially attractive for a company owning
several medical clinics or where several
physicians, dentists or other medical
professionals form a co-operative and insure
their practices through their own captive
insurance company.

your own offshore mutual fund and/or hedge fund

• A good alternative to an offshore international
  bank is an Offshore Mutual Fund or an Offshore
  Hedge Fund. Such a fund will not offer all the
  services of a bank, but will concentrate on
  investing the funds of clients and/or ones
  family. It offers investment possibilities that
  are global and unrestricted in scope. A Hedge
  Fund normally concentrates on preserving capital
  while seeking income.
• The company formed to apply for the Mutual Fund
  or Hedge Fund license may be an International
  Business Company (IBC), Limited Liability Company
  (LLC), Segregated Cell Company or Unit Trust,
  depending on the structures permitted in the
  jurisdiction.
• Abaco Ltd is a global force in arranging
  international vehicles for investment and can
  arrange for the set up of such funds in a number
  or jurisdictions around the world. Our current
  recommended locations for such vehicles are the
  British Virgin Islands (BVI) and St. Vincent
  the Grenadines (SVG).
• We are able to arrange for the production of
  offerings or prospectuses, where required, for
  the appointment of directors, the licensing of
  investment companies and administration companies
  as required by the regulatory authorities as
  providers of necessary services to the Mutual
  Fund.

Bank/Credit Card Accounts

• You are strongly advised to keep some of your
  funds in a jurisdiction other than the one in
  which you live. The reason is that with the
  increasing financial crises in most of the
  developed world, you can expect stricter controls
  on how much cash you can take out of your country
  and even send out of your country.
• If you need to travel abroad for less expensive
  medical treatment (as to India for example) or
  you wish to go on vacation or to visit family
  overseas, or to take care of business, it would
  be a definite advantage to have funds parked in a
  safe bank outside or your country which you can
  access by bank wire, by Western Union/Money Gram,
  or at an ATM.
• IBCs Now can set up an account for you in the
  Caribbean or Europe or Asia that can make your
  life a whole lot more secure. Please contact us
