Yes. What matters to a Swiss bank is not nationality but your profile, residency and source of funds. Institutions ask for higher minimum deposits and stricter review when you live abroad — we clarify acceptance with the bank before filing.

In Georgia and Cambodia yes — within 2 to 5 business days, no travel, via certified power of attorney and video identification. Some Swiss banks require a personal meeting; we tell you which ones beforehand.

At SWICOR, fixed fees from CHF 690 for a private account; corporate accounts are higher depending on jurisdiction. The fee is agreed in writing before you commission us — the bank's own charges and minimum deposits are separate.

CRS countries report balances and income automatically to your country of residence, non-CRS countries do not. Your declaration duty at home remains unchanged either way — a non-CRS account is not a concealment tool.

A foreign account is entirely legal. As a taxpayer in Germany, Austria or Switzerland you declare the income and, depending on the country, the account itself. We only build structures that can be declared.

Passport, proof of address, proof of source of funds and, depending on the bank, a CV or business description. You receive a checklist tailored to the chosen bank.

Name check, articles, notary, registration, tax number, bank account: fixed fees from CHF 490 plus official charges. The proposal states total cost and timeline before you pay anything.

There is no universally best country — it depends on your business model, client base and residency. Georgia is strong for IT services, a US LLC for online business, a Swiss AG for reputation and banking, an English Ltd. for EU trade.

Formally yes. What decides taxation is the place of effective management: a company run from your country of residence is taxable there, whatever the register says. That is why we look at residency first and structure second.

Georgian LLC 3–5 business days, US LLC 1–3 days, English Ltd. 1 day, Swiss AG/GmbH 2–3 weeks including notary and capital payment. Banking takes additional time in each case.

Usually not. We incorporate via certified and apostilled power of attorney; only a few banks and notaries require presence. Your case is specified in the proposal.

A status for IT and software companies with 0% corporate tax on foreign revenue. It requires demonstrable IT activity and local substance, and takes around ten days after incorporation.

Yes — as long as the structure has genuine economic substance, withstands arm's-length scrutiny and is fully declared. Tax evasion is a criminal offence and we decline such mandates.

Through the combination of legal form, jurisdiction, profit usage and residency. A realistic range for well-built structures is 0–15% effective instead of 30–45%. The initial analysis shows what applies to you — no blanket promises.

Rules that attribute the profits of low-taxed foreign companies to the shareholder in their country of residence, even without distribution. They typically bite on passive income and missing substance. Every structure we build is tested against them.

On leaving Germany or Austria, shares in corporations can be taxed as if sold. Sequence and timing determine the amount — which is why residency planning always precedes restructuring.

Office, staff, decisions and contracts must genuinely sit at the company's seat. Without substance the structure is looked through on audit and taxed at home. We build substance in from the start.

Not when double tax treaties are applied correctly. Problems arise when seat and management diverge or deadlines are missed — exactly what our review targets.

For the largest effects yes: your centre of life determines your tax liability. Without a change of residency, optimisation is limited to legal form, profit usage and holding structure.

Paraguay from 30 days, Georgia and Panama 4–8 weeks, Portugal and Spain 3–6 months. Registering is the easy part — documenting your centre of life is what counts.

There is no safe blanket figure: beyond the 183-day rule, authorities look at housing, family, contracts and economic interests. We build an evidence file that holds up to a review five years later.

Depending on profile: Paraguay for minimal presence, Dubai for entrepreneurs who need banking, Portugal and Spain for families with EU ties, Georgia for digital freelancers. Selection follows your life, not the tax rate alone.

Neither carries over automatically. Both are part of our residency planning — international health cover, pension transfer and social security status are settled before departure.

Through naturalisation after residency or citizenship-by-investment programmes. We assess requirements, timelines, cost and the passport's travel access — and say so when a programme makes no sense for you.

Free initial consultation (30 minutes), written proposal with fixed fee and timeline, full implementation by our team, then ongoing support for domicile, accounting and annual compliance.

Nothing. 30 minutes, no obligation, personal — with a first assessment of which structure fits your situation and what it costs.

Yes. The fee in the proposal is the fee for the work. Official charges, notary costs and minimum deposits are itemised separately so you know the total before commissioning us.

Every mandate is handled under Swiss data protection law (FADP) and the GDPR, documents move encrypted, and we never name clients — not even as references.

Yes, explicitly. We handle the international structure and align it with your adviser or lawyer at home. On request we introduce specialists from our network.

Anything aimed at concealment, unclear source of funds or undeclared assets. We are subject to AML/KYC duties and work only with legal, documentable structures.
