“Advocate for International Business”


Random Thoughts!    

* Tax Season in the US  
At this point, perhaps it should go without saying but pay your taxes!  If you are involved with international business then you are a high profile target.  There are no tax benefits for US citizens by going offshore.  As many nations move towards worldwide income tax, this is also true in many other jurisdictions. We would suggest that you plan accordingly. 

* Swiss Trust Companies
Trust companies are great tools but there is a lot of bad information about these entities on the internet.  One myth is that you can buy a Swiss Trust Company (STC) with an in-place and operational SWIFT membership. This is simply not true.  As a new owner, you would need to apply for membership.  To that end, we have a better option which are less expensive.  In any case, if anyone would suggest otherwise that should be a huge red flag.

Did You Know?

CAMEL RATING:  Rating measuring the soundness of a bank.  The term is an acronym that stands for Capital, Asset Management, Earnings and Liquidity.

DE NOVO:  A newly chartered bank, as opposed to a bank acquired through an acquisition.

DUTCH AUCTION:  Defined as an auction system in securities underwriting where the issuer gradually lowers the price until a responsive bid is met.  Buyers can bid any prices they want, and securities are sold at a single price to all buyers whose bid price is at or higher than the auction-set price.  The U.S. Treasury Department has occasionally used the Dutch auction technique in auctions of Treasury securities.
