INCORPORATION PROCEDURES

INCORPORATION PROCEDURES & COMPANY STRUCTURE

To incorporate a Company first of all a name has to be chosen. Our firm always has several "Shelf" companies available which have already been incorporated from which one can be chosen. Alternatively, the client can suggest a name and this can be checked at the Company Registry in each jurisdiction in under 24 hours; sometimes even within minutes. It is not necessary to physically come to Gibraltar or to go to any of the various jurisdictions to incorporate an Offshore Company.

Fast & High Quality Cost Effective Service
The service our firm provides is fast and efficient with incorporation and the preparation of supporting documents taking no more than a week. Where a Company is required urgently it is possible to have everything ready within 2 to 7 days depending on the jurisdiction. Gibraltar "Shelf" Companies can be supplied immediately. Our firm has highly qualified and experienced personnel who deal with all matters in a professional and efficient manner. Our costs remain very competitive.

Registered Address
All Offshore Companies must have a registered office in the jurisdiction in which they are incorporated.

Nominee Shareholders (Identity of Owners protected)
The shares of the Companies are ordinarily held by our firm's licensed nominee company: ECE Nominees Limited which will appear on the records of the Company Registry as the registered shareholder. ECE Nominees Limited then issues the Beneficiaries (owners) with Declarations of Trust (private documents which are not filed in the Company Registry) which say that the benefit of the shares belong to the Beneficiaries and this document is the indisputable proof of this. The idea is that the Beneficiaries of the Company should not be ascertainable from simply looking at the records filed with the Company Registry. The Beneficiaries are also given undated Share Transfer Forms signed by us and if they wish to transfer the shares into their names all they need do is sign and date the document and file it at the relevant Company Registry.

Inheritance Provisions
Letters of wishes are also drawn up so that the Beneficiaries give ECE Nominees Limited their instructions as to who to transfer the beneficial interest in the shares to upon their deaths. This avoids the need for the beneficiaries to make a will disposing of their beneficial interest in the shares.

Directors
ECE Nominees Limited can act as director in specific circumstances and more information can be provided upon request. However, most Beneficiaries act as directors themselves since, in law, directorship is not synonymous with ownership. The shares of the Company will be registered in the name of ECE Nominees Limited so, ostensibly, they are the owners.

Secretary
Lewbel Secretaries Limited is another of our licensed companies and we use this to provide secretaries for all Offshore Companies which we manage.
