Offshore Holding Company 
is  organized in a foreign country which controls one or more affiliate
companies and which manages, administers or services its affiliate companies
usually located outside the country in which the parent company is
incorporated.

A Offshore Holding Company can
protect you from any losses in case that your trading or investment companies
get into a hurricane of troubles or simply just need to be liquidated or stop
their business, if that should happen which we don\'t wish you ever will be
experiencing then it is most often too late to setup any offshore holding
company to rescue the last bit of assets you may have left.

To setup a offshore holding company
isn\'t any difficult, all you will need to do is to establish the Holding company
before you register the trading or investment company, of course it is possible
to establish a offshore holding company after you have registered the trading /
investment company but most often this transaction involves some tax that have
to be paid in your home country.

However, once you have established your Offshore
Holding company which needs to be registered and formed in an Offshore
Jurisdiction like the Seychelles, Belize, BVI or Cyprus then the share of the
new trading / investment company will have to be owned by the Holding Company,
if you don\'t do business yet then it is a simple task otherwise if you already
have a established company you will need to transfer the shares (ALL SHARES) to
the Offshore Holding company in
order to get the structure in the correct place.

If something should go wrong in your trading company or investment company,
and you will be forced to stop all activities but still owe people or business
partners money normally you won\'t be able to \"clean\" the company from
the good assets, but while you have a Offshore
Holding company you can easily move all the \"good assets\" to the
Holding Company and liquidate or strike off the bad company.

have several objectives. A holding company can be established and used to hold
the shares of subsidiaries located in high tax countries. Also, when a person
owns assets or property in a territory which is not his domicile, then he can
protect his assets against inheritance tax and higher rates of taxation by
placing them in an offshore investment company. Offshore holding company may be
used to hold the title of the property, thus diminishing those difficulties and
expenses associated with investment in overseas property.
