Online Gaming Company
Today many people opt to game online rather than spend additional time and money traveling to gaming locations in their home country or abroad. We provide a solid solution for all of those who wish to become involved in this ever growing internet business.

An interesting angle of financial secrecy is the use of Costa Rican "offshore" corporations. These corporations can be started by anyone - citizen, resident, or tourist - and are supposed to be totally secret. Since there's no way of knowing just whose names are on the corporation books, it's almost impossible to discover who actually controls any of these corporations. In fact, the legal name is "sociedad anonima" or "anonymous society". That's why corporation names are appended with "S. A." instead of "Inc." or "Ltd." We can also form a Costa Rican Limited Company which will serve the same purpose and offer an excellent level of personal privacy.
Costa Rica's corporate structure allows any person (a Costa Rican citizen or not) to control a company without his or her name appearing in the public records. Our Costa Rican law office can set up your corporation without the real owner's name ever appearing in the record. Although there is a legal president, vice-president, secretary and treasurer (our nominees), the actual ownership of the corporation is invested in whoever physically holds the stock certificates in his/her hands or safety deposit box.
A Costa Rican S. A. is free to engage in many types of business activities, both in Costa Rica and in other countries and it pays nothing on what it earns outside of Costa Rica - what a deal!! Local laws require that a yearly tax report must be filed (we can arrange for this for an additional fee); should there be no income to report, there are no tax consequences. Last but not least, Costa Rican corporations are now one of the best offshore vehicles because many of high-tax rated countries like the U.S. do not consider them as offshore companies!!!
Please note that the Standard Authorized Share Capital is only CR Colones 10,000 (something like US$30). Bearer Shares are not permitted here but actual ownership of a Costa Rican corporation is invested in whoever physically has the stock certificates in his/her pocket (Shares can be endorsed) or safe-deposit box (We do provide such service locally).

Nominee Directors are simply corporations or individuals who undertake by way of a signed legal agreement with the owner of a company to act as a director of that company on their behalf.
The over-riding advantage of this is that the nominee's name will show up in all (if any) government or public records relating to the company, thus giving the company owner or manager a further degree of protection and privacy should records be searched. Frequently the nominee director is itself another offshore company, thus giving yet further protection from invasion into the true owner's privacy.
Here at www.Finor-Group.com we (or one or other associated companies) act as a nominee for many clients and companies. In addition to protecting the privacy of the company managers, we can be authorized to carry out the mandatory and statutory duties on their behalf. Where we (or our associate companies) act as a nominee, an Indemnity Agreement has to be signed by the Beneficial Owner(s) of the company, both protecting us from any financial or other liabilities of that company and giving back power of the day to day corporate management to the beneficial owner. A separate Power of Attorney will also be provided on a regular basis for additional fees.
