So much great content lately (well, always). These topics are dense & tangled webs of information; it's so easy to become overwhelmed & anxious about (potentially) making the wrong moves in our biz strategies. Asking me to take a step back and consider these strategies *before* starting a biz is a helpful exercise, and actually resulted in my uncovering some new opportunities I likely would have never considered.
You just answered my question. Thank you Michael. One more thing, does this work? I want to use a Cayman Foundation Company. I would move to Cayman, use my ordinary resident Cayman company to be the director for my Canadian client's foundation company. In this case the Founders of the company are the Canadian clients. Then use a virtual office to outsource most of the admin, sales, and accounting work. Then I would use cash on the balance sheet to buy ETH, BTC, or Tether, take loans against the crypto and then use that as liquid cash that the Founders of the Cayman Foundation Company (Canadian Clients) can use tax free in Canada.
@@OffshoreCitizen You cover awesomely well both SMB and solopreneurs, but personally, the more you talk about building offshore as a digital nomad, the better. Ah- and also talk about non-EU and EU citizens while mentioning income taxes, because for some visas or permits, being an EU can be disadvantageous (like the one in Portugal). Congrats on your work! I personally can't pay for your consulting services atm, I'm in a transition between being jobless and hustling my own solo business while being location-free, so your videos are quite saving my back meanwhile!!!
Thanks for the suggestions, will do! You can definitely learn a lot by watching videos. Booking a call is great for getting specific advice and solutions for your situation, since there's no one size fits all. Good luck with your job hunting! I'm sure we'll meet soon☺💪
Great video as always,Mike. I have a question: When it comes to substance, what does "top-level" decision-making mean? Apart from staff, can you please give an example of what type of people that you should put inside the company (is it HR manager or CFO ,etc)?
Basically... Can the company run without you or with other significantly partners. If you are the only in charge of the company and you only hire low-level workers - then suddenly it's hard to prove the company is not resident where you are. Even if you want to be the CEO of your business living in country X (lets say Portugal) Then hire a COO, CFO, CMO... in country A (US), B (Canada), C (Denmark). Give them fine titles. As Michael also says, involve them in decision making... So make sure you have emails, Zoom meetings etc - where you discuss things so you can back it up if you ever where questioned (unlikely) that you are not the only person leading it. Let's say your business is incorporated in US. Now it's as good as impossible for your resident country (country x) to say the business belongs there, as you can at any time say that my business is mainly being managed from A, B, C so how could I possible belong there. As well as some DTT's might help you as well depending on the mix of countries. Michael can probably explain it better - so maybe reach out to him :)
@@OffshoreCitizen Perhaps you go through your old videos and pick a few that have done well. Do another video on the same topic but expand a little and include updated info.
What do you think of a Panamá PIF owning a US Wyoming LLC and a US citizen being the anonymous controller? Operating entity located in USA so no territorial tax to Panamá.
Michael can you make a video about business insurance? Do online companies need it in your opinion. Like a seller on amazon etc. Common small online businesses. Do they need product liability insurance etc? The insurance side of small business is something many small business ppl arent even aware of.
@@OffshoreCitizen well, it was a bit broad subject for me, I think it's bcs I'm lacking some basic knowledge about structuring business. I will do my research and schedule a call with you. I think withing a month. Need some time to gather all questions.
@@OffshoreCitizen .. sure, though I don't want to overwhelm you : Vaccine Passports, Pandemic influence on e-commerce, Side hussles/passive income and how your presence is not essential in generating revenue. Also :) (and it may sound cheesy), ...how identifying solutions to people's problems and designing and implementing - to create viable business opportunities.. Thanks again for your awesome channel!!
We so enjoy your videos!!! What about for a recruiter/head Hunter that is solo, could that be set up in say Bulgaria while living in the USA to any tax advantage?
Michael, or anyone quick question....anyone have experience in moving a stock portfolio from say Canada, North America....offshore to an overseas broker, 'in kind' without having to liquidate your stocks into cash, wire...re purchase etc....I can do this locally within Canada between the different brokers, but international? Thanx!!!!
Hi bro..can u make a vedio on honorary philanthropy vip passport by for UHNW. Direct citizens in 1 months. Like germany contributions in foods loss, Switzerland, direct philanthropy to .Gov. It will help lot to many government. They can easily create new revenu very easily.with zero tax schemes...they are already give big amounts as a philanthropy again you ask them tax...it's unfair...
Why would you want to empower, reward, support, and help dastardly unproductive parasitic gang members who join the government gang to leech off & extort money from other people using the gang mentality & the monopoly of violence?
Great video, thank you very much! What do you think about having a company in Romania selling digital services and products worldwide), and living in Spain? Is there any way to do this legally and not pay taxes in Spain, or pay the minimum after optimizing everything?
How can a Canadian software freelancer single owner/shareholder of an offshore business in BVI, set-up the business so the business residency isn't taxable by Canada? Would having a few subcontractors in Europe be enough? or adding a Director outside Canada? Should they remove themselves as director? Much appreciated!

Portugal, yes. Spain, forget it.
How did it go for you?
How much taxes would you pay that way?
@Dragonier any other options? 😛
Thank you for your video series. What about a CCPC that has passive income to reduce the 50% tax rate?
What's that
How can a Canadian software freelancer single owner/shareholder of an offshore business in BVI, set-up the business so the business residency isn't taxable by Canada? Would having a few subcontractors in Europe be enough? or adding a Director outside Canada? Should they remove themselves as director? Much appreciated!
many details to cover here, probably best to reach through our website
What about countries with tax on worldwide income
All depends on the details involved. Probably best to reach out so we can discuss
Thatswhy summary is important…
So hire folks from a country that have zero taxes to do work for me?
Try Kosovo in south europe , they charge you 10 % taxes on profit .
@@bimsalijaj761 you mean incorporate in Kosovo?
👍
