Set up a Bermuda Exempted Company / Limited Liability Company (LLC)
Bermuda is a British Overseas territory and an international financial and banking hub that does not apply taxes on profits, income or dividends, capital gains nor personal income. Non-resident investors may buy or sell shares and units of investment funds without being subject to taxation.
An Exempted company incorporated in Bermuda is entitled to do business outside Bermuda and shall not trade within the jurisdiction, own properties in Bermuda, and may require a license to undertake banking, insurance, assurance, reinsurance, fund management, collective investment schemes, rendering investment advice or any other activity which may suggest an association with the banking and insurance industries.
Under the Exempt Undertakings Act of 1976, Exempted Companies can obtain protection from any newly enacted taxes on income or capital gains until 2035.
Many Fortune 500 companies have set up a Bermuda exempted company for purposes such as holding company, holding assets, trading, manufacturing, inter-group financing, shipping, aircraft leasing and holding of intellectual property rights, among others.

Our bank account opening service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business plan forms appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information, and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application.
Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
