The most popular type of company formed by foreign investors is International Business Corporation (IBC), a model offshore structure.
One of the biggest advantages of IBCs is complete exemption from taxation both on legal and physical persons for the period of 50 years of company establishment.
Another important issue is legally guaranteed protection of privacy – shareholder and director data is not published anywhere, and disclosing this information by anyone comes with heavy legal sanctions. The only data subject to reporting obligation are Articles of Association that includes name, surname and address of the registration agent, the number of shares that may be issued, types of shares. Shareholder and director data is held only by the licenced registration agent who is obliged not to disclose it.
IBCs are formed very fast, with minimum formalities. Companies have to be set up by a licenced agent and have to have their offices in the territory of the country.
IBCs may be set up by one or multiple shareholders and may have one or multiple directors, who may be both physical and legal persons. There are no requirements with regard to minimum share capital.
Antigua IBCs are used as entities in international trade, real estate owners, leasing companies, bank account and security holders, consulting and marketing companies and other entities carrying out commercial activity.
