In international relationships there are many different types of holding companies. They can be used to hold participations in companies, aircrafts, ships or even art collections. These holding companies exist in many different forms. The choice of location for a particular holding company needs to be examined carefully. Factors such as distributions or relevant double taxation treaties are the main criteria when choosing the most suitable jurisdiction. Popular locations for holding companies include Switzerland, Singapore, Cyprus, Luxembourg and the UK. Besides the fact, that these jurisdictions have impeccable reputations, they are chosen in order to benefit from existing double taxation treaties.
When choosing a jurisdiction, we strive to keep confidential client information within our group of companies.
For the purposes of holding bank accounts, participations or properties, we offer structures in jurisdictions with more straightforward administrative requirements and better cost-efficiency.
The key factor for choosing a jurisdiction is always the benefit and added value for the client. That’s why administrative and bureaucratic requirements and their associated costs must not be disregarded. Therefore efficiency and established rule of law are decisive criteria for choosing the right jurisdiction.
