C'Punks, I was asked in private e-mail: So how does the average US citizen go about starting a Cayman Islands (or similar) corporation? . . . Look in the advertising sections of international publications such as THE ECONOMIST, THE EUROPEAN and THE INTERNATIONAL HERALD TRIBUNE. Every issue will contain several ads for incorporation services. These services exist everywhere, but for historical and legal reasons, many have offices in the UK or Isle of Man. Request information from every company with an ad. You can save big by doing a little comparison shopping. Follow the ads for several months, if possible, to see which companies stay around and which are fly-by-night operations. Even better, check back issues from previous years to see if the same folks are still in business. The following, is a fee schedule from just one such company: ____JURISDICTION_________ANNUAL_FEES_________FORMATION_FEE_______ United Kingdom B# 32 B# 150 Hong Kong HK$ 1200 HK$ 2500 Ireland IR# 10 IR# 195 Isle of Man B# 285 B# 250 Gibraltar B# 250 B# 250 Jersey/Guernsey B# 600 B# 500 Turks & Caicos US$ 300 US$ 500 Brit. Virgin Is. US$ 300 US$ 500 Bahamas US$ 100 US$ 500 Liberia US$ 100 US$ 750 Panama US$ 150 US$ 750 Of course, these companies offer lots of other interesting services, as well. Come the crypto-anarchy--or just a simple bank in cyberspace--and everything gets a lot easier, a lot cheaper. (If Detweiler thinks things are "bad" now . . . ) S a n d y
