We are pleased to provide you with low cost tailored-made Costa Rican Limited Company. Enjoy personal privacy as well as fiscal benefits of incorporating in Costa Rica!
Costa Rica - "the Switzerland of Latin America" - has always created favorable tax conditions for offshore operations, but the country's popularity as such, has only caught on over the last few years. Banks are required by law to maintain absolute secrecy regarding the operations of their clients. Information about normal banking operations is not passed on to any government agency - including the Tax Department. Information given to local attorneys/notaries is protected by professional secrecy.
An interesting angle of financial secrecy is the use of Costa Rican offshore companies . Like bank accounts, these limited companies 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 company books, it's almost impossible to discover who actually controls any of these companies. In fact, the legal name is "sociedad anonima" or "anonymous company". That's why company names are appended with "S. A." instead of "Inc." or "Ltd."
Costa Rica's corporate structure allows any person (Costa Rican or not) to control a company without his or her name appearing in the public records. Our Costa Rican lawyers can set up your limited company 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 has the stock certificates in his/her pocket or safe-deposit box.
A Costa Rica S.A.L.R. 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! Local laws require that a yearly tax report must be filed (We do the job!); should there be no income to report, there are no tax consequences. Last but not least, Costa Rican anonymous companies are now one of the best offshore vehicles because many of high-tax rated countries do not consider them as offshore companies !!!
In Costa Rica a Limited Company ("sociedad de responsabilidad limitada") is a far cry from the sole proprietorship of a common law jurisdiction. It could be said to have the characteristics of both a limited liability company and a limited partnership and the English translation of its name would seem to suggest that it is a limited liability company.
The concept originated in Liechtenstein but has been adopted by very few countries.
Under the Commercial Code of Costa Rican law a Limited Company is an enterprise with one owner whose liability is limited to the value of his share capital in the business.
The profits of a sole proprietorship can only be distributed by way of dividend where a trading profit has been made in that year. A sole proprietorship is run by a manager who has been granted broad powers of attorney and so is much simpler and cheaper than the running of a company. The owner of a sole proprietorship must be an individual and cannot be a legal entity such as a limited company.
www.Finor-Group.com can act as a Nominee Director * for client companies and, in addition to protecting the privacy of the Beneficial Owners of the company, carry out the statutory duties on their behalf. Where we act as nominees, an Indemnity Agreement must be signed by the Beneficial Owner(s) of the company, both protecting us from any financial or other liabilities of that company.
* Nominee Directors are simply 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 real beneficial owner 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.
