Company setup

GBC (Global Business Company) and Domestic Companies are the standard structures. Substance requirements following OECD reforms must be considered; the GBC framework has evolved materially.

Domestic companies and IBCs are common in international structures.

Banking

Local banks support resident and corporate accounts; KYC and source-of-funds requirements are real. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions.

Banking is selective. Bordercase coordinates banking introductions through current partners.

Family

Family inclusion is supported. International schools are available in major regions.

CBI can include qualifying dependents.
