The problem

When you own assets personally, every gain is a taxable event. You sell — you pay. You trade — you pay. Dividends arrive — you pay.

A holding company in the right jurisdiction manages those same assets at 0% capital gains. You control when and how you extract money — as dividends, at a time and rate that works for you.

The structure has existed for decades. Institutional investors and large family offices use it as standard. The problem is execution: you need a lawyer, a registered agent, a local director, a bank, an exchange, all coordinated across jurisdictions.

We do all of it. In one package. With one annual fee.

Your structure

Two products. One decision.

For one individual

Solo Structure

You hold a portfolio of assets — investments, crypto, business stakes, cash — and currently own them personally. This gives you a dedicated holding company in your chosen jurisdiction, fully set up and managed, so your assets sit in a proper structure from day one.

For 2–5 people

Family Office

Two co-founders pooling capital. Business partners investing alongside each other. A small group with shared financial interests. This gives you a shared holding vehicle with proper co-ownership governance — so the structure works for the group, not just one person.

Shared ownership across 2–5 individuals materially reduces individual CFC exposure in most EU jurisdictions, where attribution rules trigger at 50%+ personal ownership.

Everything included.

Both products. One annual fee. No separate invoices.

Both products
  1. Company incorporation in your chosen jurisdiction
  2. Registered agent — maintained annually
  3. Corporate director & company secretary — licensed practitioners, active management from the offshore jurisdiction. Supports economic substance and reduces CFC exposure under management-and-control tests.
  4. Bank account opened — not introduced, opened
  5. Crypto exchange account set up in the company name
  6. Brokerage account set up in the company name
  7. Economic substance compliance — ongoing management
  8. Annual statutory filings — handled, not delegated back to you
Family Office adds
  1. Shareholders agreement — ownership split, decision-making rights, exit provisions
  2. KYC onboarding for all members (2–5 people)
  3. Co-ownership governance framework

Four jurisdictions.

Pick the one that fits your assets and geography.

Global & universal

BVI

Zero tax. Holds anything.

Zero tax on everything at company level. No corporate tax, no capital gains, no withholding. Holds any asset type in any geography. No public beneficial ownership register. Widest international acceptance.

Use case

A founder with a mixed portfolio — crypto, cash in multiple currencies, private company equity — wants one permanent vehicle to hold it all, with no tax friction regardless of what they add next.

Asia exposure + crypto

Hong Kong

BVI plus Asian reach.

Territorial tax. Zero capital gains. 50+ tax treaties including 5% withholding on Chinese dividends (versus 10% standard). One of the few jurisdictions with a licensed crypto exchange framework.

Use case

A founder with positions in China or Southeast Asia who also wants regulated crypto exchange access at the corporate level.

Most cost-effective from $2M+ where genuine HK presence is justified.

EU entity

Cyprus

EU banking. Zero CGT on securities.

EU jurisdiction. Zero capital gains tax on disposal of securities — stocks, bonds, ETFs, funds — at the entity level. No personal relocation required. Best banking access of the four.

Use case

A founder with a securities portfolio wants an EU-domiciled company. The holding company trades freely — zero CGT. Same portfolio held personally in Germany or the UK: 25–39% tax on every disposal.

Lowest entry point

Panama

Simple. Affordable. Crypto-friendly.

Territorial tax — zero tax on all income earned outside Panama. Unconditional. No minimum holding period. Lowest cost of the four. Well-established for crypto corporate structures.

Use case

A founder with $500K–$1M primarily in crypto who wants a clean corporate holding structure without complexity.

Common questions.

The structure works, but the rules around it depend on your country of residence. Here's what matters most.

What are CFC rules and do they apply to me?
Controlled Foreign Corporation rules let your home country tax the income of a foreign company you control, even if you don't take dividends. Most EU countries trigger CFC attribution at 50%+ personal ownership in a low-tax jurisdiction. Family Office structures (2–5 people, 20–40% each) often fall below this threshold. UAE residents face no CFC. US persons face Subpart F and GILTI from 10%+ ownership.
Does CFC apply to individuals or only to companies?
EU's ATAD directive was designed for corporate taxpayers — a resident company owning a low-tax foreign subsidiary. Many EU implementations stayed close to this, so individual shareholders fall outside strict CFC rules. But most EU countries have separate individual-level provisions (transfer of assets abroad, personal holding rules, Netherlands Box 3 wealth tax). Country-specific picture, ask us about yours.
What is economic substance, and what's required?
Economic substance means the company has real activity in its jurisdiction — management, decision-making, books and records. BVI and Cyprus require it for relevant activities. We manage substance via the appointed corporate director who actively manages the company from the offshore jurisdiction. No physical office or local employees are required for pure holding companies.
Why is a corporate director appointed instead of me?
Same model used by every institutional fund administrator, AngelList SPV, and PE-backed company. A licensed corporate director manages governance and local compliance, ensuring substance and management-and-control sit in the offshore jurisdiction — not your home country. Your economic ownership stays 100%. You control all major decisions as shareholder.
How does 0% capital gains work at the company level?
BVI: no corporate tax, no capital gains tax, no withholding. Panama: territorial — zero tax on foreign-sourced income. Hong Kong: territorial — zero tax on offshore profits and zero capital gains. Cyprus: 0% CGT on disposal of securities (stocks, bonds, ETFs, funds) at company level, regardless of where you live.
When do I pay personal tax?
When you extract money from the company — as dividends, salary, or loan repayment. You control the timing. Take dividends in a low-income year, split across co-owners in a Family Office, or reinvest indefinitely inside the company. The structure converts an annual tax event into a discretionary one.
Can I hold crypto in the holding company?
Yes. Each jurisdiction supports corporate crypto holdings. Hong Kong and Panama have the strongest crypto exchange access. The company's trading gains are taxed at the company rate (0% in BVI, Panama, Hong Kong offshore, or Cyprus securities exemption depending on the asset).
Is my name on a public register?
BVI: no public UBO register — your name sits in the confidential BOSS database accessible only to regulators. Panama: not public. Hong Kong: directors are public, beneficial owners private. Cyprus: UBO register exists but has restricted access for legitimate interest only.
What happens if I move countries?
The company stays where it is. Your personal tax exposure changes based on your new tax residency. CFC rules, dividend tax rates, and exit taxes all shift. We help you plan around relocations — it's a common scenario for our clients.
