Need advice for offshore incorporation
 

Hello,

I own adult sites business (no porn). For my business I need the following:
Offshore corporation in Gibraltar with nominee director and shareholder,
bank account in Cyprus and the most important is that I need merchant account.

First I tried to order all services at wsr-corporation.com, I paid all invoices in the middle of October, then send due delligence , but got nothing. Theirs customers support is based on tickets system, so I had to wait answers for a week getting back standard phrases. After 2 months of doing nothing from theirs side I had to contact my bank to issue refund.

I decided to contact licensed company managers at Gibraltar from listfsc.gi/fsclists/listbygroup.asp?Find=5, but all of them say "no" as soon as hear "adult biz".

I know that it's hard to get that staff for adult biz, I even think to 'hide' 'adult' word when contacting them just to say "web based business: design, promotion, programming"

Please, share you mind or assist if you can

Thanks
Best regards

Why do you want to incorporate offshore? A lot of people think it's a good idea when it has many hidden drawbacks.

I want to try to get merchant account, I'm not EU or US citizen, so I can't do it in my resident country

not only the companies that help you to move offshore, but also the offshore banks may often have a problem with adult business, or even with web business for that matter

good luck though

got offshore for like 10 years and its true that it brings some sort of troubles.The most important is the bank - I am not sure that Cyprus is the best choise but its up to you
wish you luck with that

What troubles did you have? Because you were adult?

Such as? If you have a legit biz and it's set up correctly, what drawbacks have you come across?

im also curious

Some banks don't like when you get wires from ccbill and others, so you have to select your bank carefully.

dont seek any advice here.
