We offer a range of services related to all aspects of offshore business needs, from managing, registering, conducting and operating offshore companies in foreign jurisdictions and more. Our aim is always to maximize the financial, legal, and tax benefits offshore company formations entail, without any requirement for the directors, shareholders or beneficial owners of the company to reside in the country in question.\r\n<h2>Benefits of offshore formations for companies</h2>\r\nOffshore companies formation can be utilized for a variety of commercial and private purposes - mainly related to wealth and tax planning, since most offshore incorporated companies are not required to pay local taxes on income that was derived from operations in offshore jurisdictions.\r\n\r\nMost offshore jurisdictions also keep all of their local registers confidential, which means information about the company and its directors, shareholders, beneficiaries etc. is not listed on public documents, helping maintain privacy at a high level.\r\n\r\nMany offshore jurisdictions also offer unsurpassed protection for the company’s assets and the reporting duties are minimal compared to many countries, as no annual return or audit is required. It may also be possible to operate businesses that require specific licenses, such as Forex businesses, from offshore jurisdictions without a local license where there is no such license for these activities in such jurisdictions.\r\n<h2>What we can help you with</h2>\r\nOur lawyers providing services within offshore business formation work with multiple offshore jurisdictions and have established an impressive network of contacts in all the relevant jurisdictions. Therefore they are well equipped to provide you with a tailor made solution and recommendation, whatever your needs and preferences may be.\r\n\r\nOnce a decision has been made by the client on a jurisdiction our lawyers also help you with practical offshore company formation services such as registering a company as well as any other services required by local law in the jurisdiction chosen. Their services include all documentation and administration needed, as well as legalization services by a lawyer as required, audit services and more.\r\n\r\nOn top of offshore companies formation we can also offer services related to offshore bank formation for clients who need bank accounts in offshore jurisdictions (for more information about our international banking services, please see our international banking page), making us the only services provider you need in order to start your offshore operations.\r\n\r\nFor more information on how to get started, please contact us in order to get a personalized recommendation on how to proceed.', 'Offshore Company Structuring', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3385-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-09-04 20:40:47', '2019-09-04 17:40:47', '', 3385, 'https://www.porat.com/3385-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

China is a key player in the crypto currencies eco system as most of the mining capabilities of the industry are located in China, led by mining power house Bitmain. China \'s attitude towards crypto currencies has seen some major shifts, starting with the Central Bank\'s warning to local banks warning them form conducting transactions in crypto currencies, which was followed by a ban imposed on financial institutions and third-party payment providers from accepting, using, or selling crypto currencies. On the other end, the public was allowed to conduct transactions involving crypto currencies, while exchanges involved in crypto currencies activities were required to register with the central Bank and are closely monitored. Lately, Chinese authorities imposed an immediate ban on all Initial Coin Offering (ICO) activities in China, stating that such activities shall be resumed once a licensing and supervision regime of ICOs is finalized. Finally, several reports hints at the Central Bank\'s plan to develop its own crypto currency for China.\r\n\r\n<u>Japan</u> - the first jurisdiction to regulate crypto currencies activities by enacting a law regulating virtual currency exchange operators (VCEOs) back in May 2016. The law came into effect on April 1, 2017. The law states capital requirements for virtual currency exchanges and sets cybersecurity and operational requirements, as well as duties to conduct employee training programs and submit annual audits.\r\n\r\n<u>The Philippines</u> – Philippines has established itself as one of the first jurisdictions in Southeast Asia to formally regulate crypto currencies activities through the regulating of crypto currency exchanges as remittance and transfer companies. As of June 2016, crypto currencies exchanges must obtain a Certificate of Registration and comply with annual filing and reporting obligations. Some of the main requirements of the regulatory framework include the implementation of appropriate risk management and security controls, and restricting the acceptance of transactions to $10,000 cap.\r\n\r\n<u>Australia</u> - Australia is yet to develop its own regulatory framework to crypto currencies activities. In 2016, the Australian Attorney-General’s Department issued a Consultation Document stating that the government seek to start drafting legislative proposals to regulate crypto, hoping to finalize that legislation in 2018.\r\n\r\n<u>New Zealand</u> – NZ has not taken any concrete steps to regulate crypto currencies, and for the time being it only issued the typical warning to investors as to the risks related to trading in crypto currencies. Reportedly, several statements issued by local officials show a favorable attitude towards crypto currencies and the need to regulate these activities.\r\n\r\n<u>India</u> - the Reserve Bank has issued warnings to the public about the risks associated with crypto currencies and is reportedly examining the legal implications of crypto currencies activities under India’s existing legal framework.\r\n\r\n<u>Malaysia</u> - the Central Bank of Malaysia stated that crypto currencies are not legal tender, that crypto currencies activities are not regulated in Malaysia and advised the public of the risks involved in such activities.\r\n\r\n<u>Thailand</u> - the Central Bank has declared that a company which provides bitcoin exchange against the local currency (the baht) does not require a license of approval from the Central Bank, while bitcoin exchange against international currencies will require a license from the Central Bank.\r\n\r\n<u>South Korea</u> - while the official position is that crypto currencies are not legal tender, a new crypto currency task force has been launched with the goal to introduce new regulations for exchanges involved in crypto currency transactions.\r\n\r\n<u>Indonesia</u> - crypto currencies are not considered legal tender, and the use of crypto currencies violates the country’s information and electronic transaction laws and currency laws.\r\n\r\n<u>Vietnam</u> - the State Bank of Vietnam recommends not investing, holding or transacting in crypto currencies due to potential risks of use for criminal purposes, lack of technical security and high vulnerability to hacking, price volatility, and lack of a central government authority. It also stated that crypto currencies are not money nor are they a form of legal payment in Vietnam.\r\n\r\nWe are expecting for the regulatory landscape of the crypto currencies industry to change and develop further and will be updating our website, including this page, to reflect any significant changes related to regulatory matters for the industry.\r\n\r\nOur law firm is one of the first law firms to have a dedicated team specializing on the crypto currencies industry, as well as to offer legal services related to the regulation of crypto currency businesses and products. Therefore our lawyers are well equipped to handle regulation processes for these types of businesses in various jurisdictions, including several of the Asian and Oceanian ones.\r\n\r\nWe have also made a point of proving our commitment to the crypto currency industry by accepting payments in several crypto currencies for our legal services.\r\n\r\nAll business owners active in the crypto currencies business who are interested in knowing more about regulating their product or business or about the different options for regulating businesses and products in this field are welcome to contact the Nir Porat &amp; Co., Law Firm team for a free and non-binding consultation to discuss this further.', 'Regulation of Crypto currencies in Asia and Oceania', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3333-revision-v1', '', '', '2019-09-05 14:18:34', '2019-09-05 11:18:34', '', 3333, 'https://www.porat.com/3333-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

These states include Indiana, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Oregon, North Carolina, New York, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Montana, Mississippi, Iowa, Arkansas and Colorado.\r\n\r\nEven online advertising giants such as Google have demonstrated the growing acceptance of online gaming in the US by allowing ads promoting for the following types of online gambling: Sports betting in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.

On the other hand, some of the states which have legalized this industry do not require an affiliate to register or obtain a local license but will typically require an affiliate to show that he has established a contractual relationship with a local operator by submitting a letter of intent form the said operator to the local state regulator.\r\n\r\nAs to the licensing requirements and procedures, these vary from one state to another. Indiana for example has a rather fast and straightforward regime for media affiliate providers, which may end up in a license being granted within a month form submission (including the submission of a letter of intent form a local operator).

(3526, 6, '2020-05-27 10:26:59', '2020-05-27 07:26:59', 'Operators of online gaming, betting and sports betting, and affiliates in general, have always been contemplating on entering the US market, for obvious reasons. Such plans were left on paper for years, especially following the 2011 announcement by the Federal Government that online domestic sites offering gaming were functioning illegally under applicable legislation and ordered the shut-down of the largest internet poker websites in the U.S.\r\n\r\nA handful of states, such as Nevada and New Jersey, decided to fill the gap by enacting intra state online gaming laws. But they had to continuously counter Federal actions claimed at curbing their efforts.\r\n\r\nThe shifting point came in 2018, when the United States Supreme Court’s decision in <em>Murphy v. National Collegiate Athletic Association, et al</em>., found that the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act (PASPA) of 1992 was unconstitutional and that states could decide for themselves whether to legalize or prohibit sports betting.\r\n\r\nStarting that point, we have seen a significant rise in the number of states enacting laws aimed at legalizing online gaming, betting and sports betting in their territories.\r\n\r\nTo this date, at least 20 states have enacted laws and regulations legalizing online gaming, betting and sports betting, and the list is highly likely to keep growing. These states include Indiana, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, New Jersey, Illinois, Nevada, Delaware, West Virginia, Rhode Island, Tennessee, Oregon, North Carolina, New York, New Mexico, New Hampshire, Montana, Mississippi, Iowa, Arkansas and Colorado.\r\n\r\nEven online advertising giants such as Google have demonstrated the growing acceptance of online gaming in the US by allowing ads promoting for the following types of online gambling: Sports betting in Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Montana, New Jersey, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia. Later on, Google announced that it will allow state-licensed entities to promote online casinos in Delaware, Nevada, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.\r\n\r\nWith regards to media affiliate marketing, some of the above mentioned states, such as Indiana, Pennsylvania, Washington DC, New Jersey and Illinois have introduced specific licensing regimes for media affiliates. On the other hand, some of the states which have legalized this industry do not require an affiliate to register or obtain a local license but will typically require an affiliate to show that he has established a contractual relationship with a local operator by submitting a letter of intent form the said operator to the local state regulator.\r\n\r\nAs to the licensing requirements and procedures, these vary from one state to another. Indiana for example has a rather fast and straightforward regime for media affiliate providers, which may end up in a license being granted within a month form submission (including the submission of a letter of intent form a local operator). Pennsylvania is an example for a rather moderate jurisdiction, while the licensing regime and procedures of Washington DC, New Jersey and Illinois are amongst the more complex and demanding, even for a media affiliate provider.\r\n\r\nThe core basic requirements which will apply in most jurisdictions includes setting up a company in the US (it can be in any state in the US, not necessarily the state where you are applying for a license), forms and declarations to be signed in front of a US consular officer, set of fingerprints to be provided by each shareholder and officer of the company applying for a license. Some states, like Indiana for example, will require the affiliate media applicant to provide a letter of intent from a local operator. Others, like Washington DC, requires an applicant to obtain a local business registration license to be eligible to apply for its gaming license.\r\n\r\nApplication fees vary a lot between states, starting with Indiana\'s lowest fare at $500, through intermediate fees of $2,000-2,500 in Pennsylvania and New Jersey up to the highest mark of $10,000 in Washington DC and Illinois.\r\n\r\nProcessing the application by state authorities may take anywhere between a month to 4 months in average.\r\n\r\nNeedless to say that the potential lying in the US market is enormous and therefore highly attractive, as more and more states value the benefits of legalizing online gambling, betting and sports betting in their territories and the economic boost that such industry may bring to them at any times, even in the challenging times we are experiencing nowadays.\r\n\r\nSo, if you want to claim your share of that market, the time to act is now.\r\n\r\nAuthor: David Woliner', 'Media Affiliate Gaming Betting and Sports Betting in the US', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3511-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-05-27 10:26:59', '2020-05-27 07:26:59', '', 3511, 'https://www.porat.com/3511-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

(3559, 6, '2020-08-05 13:28:25', '2020-08-05 10:28:25', 'Cyprus has long been a popular option for company incorporation, due to its membership in the European Union. Some might even say it is the most popular jurisdiction for this purpose in all of Europe.\r\n\r\nInstead of banking on this existing popularity and stagnating, as some other similar jurisdictions have done, the Cypriot authorities have decided to keep up with the times and adjust, and even in some cases lead, to the challenges of modern technology and changes in the international business landscape.\r\n\r\nTherefore, business owners should not mistake the long legacy Cyprus has in this arena for it being an old fashioned option. It really is not, business owners should still be considering Cyprus as an excellent option for company incorporation, for several reasons. Among them:\r\n• The very flexible tax regime. The tax rate is 12.5% for net profits generated within Cyprus, otherwise it’s 0%. Cyprus also has a 0% tax rate for dividends.\r\n• Cyprus has signed multiple Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties all over the world (45 countries in total).\r\n• The low cost for company incorporation.\r\n• The low costs for maintenance and administration, especially compared to most other European jurisdictions.\r\n• The speed of the process (a company can be incorporated in as little as 5 working days).\r\n• Excellent residency and citizenship schemes. A person incorporating a company in Cyprus is entitled to a visa and work permit for 2 years (along with immediate family), this visa is renewable. After 7 years in the country, that person is eligible for a citizenship.This citizenship also entails a European Union passport.\r\n• The high standard of living and convenient location for business owners who actually decide to relocate there for a period of time.\r\n• The allowance of a nominee director and shareholder, for anonymity reasons.\r\n• The owner of the company does not have to reside in Cyprus.\r\n• The company does not need to limit its operations to Cyprus, operations in multiple countries is possible.\r\n• A company can be incorporated with 100% foreign ownership.\r\n• The fact that the share capital does not need to be paid up in cash at once. Instead, the Cypriot authorities allow for this to be paid at a later stage, if needed.\r\n• Access to multiple European Union related benefits, such as a EU VAT number.\r\n• The jurisdiction is included on the OECD white list.\r\n• Multiple options for virtual offices, dedicated phone lines and other similar services, allowing for completely virtual management of the business if needed.\r\n• Highly trained and professional staff with excellent English skills widely available on the island for those who find themselves needing this (accountants, lawyers and others). The island is also home to many highly educated Russian speakers.\r\n• The ease of closing the company if needed.\r\n<h2>A few other things to be aware of if you are considering incorporating a company in Cyprus</h2>\r\n• All companies in the country are required to hire an internal auditor as well as to prepare yearly accounts. There is also an obligation to submit financial and business records when requested. Auditors and accountants are widely available, for low costs in the country, many of them specializing in foreign owner businesses.\r\n• There is also an obligation for Cypriot companies to hold annual general meetings. However, these meetings do not have to take place in Cyprus, but can take place in other countries as well.\r\n• Cyprus is a former British colony, and therefore the English Common Law system is used and English widely spoken, making the jurisdiction ideal especially for UK residents and citizens and/or those familiar with the UK.\r\n\r\nPorat Group has been offering full packages for company incorporation in Cyprus for multiple years, and this is in fact one of our specialities. Working with multiple governmental agencies and other partners in Cyprus for years, we have excellent contacts on the island, guaranteeing our clients a fast, smooth and hassle free experience when they chose to pursue Cypriot company incorporation with us.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"/?page_id=520\">Contact us</a> for a free consultation if you are interested in incorporating a company there, or simply in comparing Cyprus as a jurisdiction with other relevant jurisdictions and we will offer personalized advice for your specific needs.', 'The Advantages of Company Incorporation in Cyprus', '', 'publish', 'open', 'open', '', 'the-advantages-of-company-incorporation-in-cyprus', '', '', '2020-11-10 09:08:41', '2020-11-10 06:08:41', '', 0, 'https://www.porat.com/?p=3559', 0, 'post', '', 0),

The tax rate is 12.5% for net profits generated within Cyprus, otherwise it’s 0%. Cyprus also has a 0% tax rate for dividends.\r\n• Cyprus has signed multiple Double Taxation Avoidance Treaties all over the world (45 countries in total).\r\n• The low cost for company incorporation.\r\n• The low costs for maintenance and administration, especially compared to most other European jurisdictions.\r\n• The speed of the process (a company can be incorporated in as little as 5 working days).\r\n• Excellent residency and citizenship schemes. A person incorporating a company in Cyprus is entitled to a visa and work permit for 2 years (along with immediate family), this visa is renewable. After 7 years in the country, that person is eligible for a citizenship.This citizenship also entails a European Union passport.\r\n• The high standard of living and convenient location for business owners who actually decide to relocate there for a period of time.\r\n• The allowance of a nominee director and shareholder, for anonymity reasons.\r\n• The owner of the company does not have to reside in Cyprus.\r\n• The company does not need to limit its operations to Cyprus, operations in multiple countries is possible.\r\n• A company can be incorporated with 100% foreign ownership.\r\n• The fact that the share capital does not need to be paid up in cash at once. Instead, the Cypriot authorities allow for this to be paid at a later stage, if needed.\r\n• Access to multiple European Union related benefits, such as a EU VAT number.\r\n• The jurisdiction is included on the OECD white list.\r\n• Multiple options for virtual offices, dedicated phone lines and other similar services, allowing for completely virtual management of the business if needed.\r\n• Highly trained and professional staff with excellent English skills widely available on the island for those who find themselves needing this (accountants, lawyers and others). The island is also home to many highly educated Russian speakers.\r\n• The ease of closing the company if needed.\r\n<h2>A few other things to be aware of if you are considering incorporating a company in Cyprus</h2>\r\n• All companies in the country are required to hire an internal auditor as well as to prepare yearly accounts.

(3615, 6, '2020-11-10 09:07:37', '2020-11-10 06:07:37', 'Hungary is a central European, relatively stable member state of the European Union, having joined the EU in 2004. The country is becoming an increasingly popular option for company incorporation among clients from all over the world for a number of reasons, some of them being:\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>Hungary has the lowest corporate tax in all of Europe, since the corporate tax rate is only 9 %. This is often quoted as the main reason for Hungary being one of the leading choices for attracting foreign investment in Europe, together with the extensive network of double tax treaties.</li>\r\n 	<li>Hungary can also offer an excellent banking infrastructure with several top tier banks that are comfortable for international businesses.</li>\r\n 	<li>That foreigners can own 100 % of the shares in a Hungary Limited Liability Company, or LLC. This is often not possible in other jurisdictions, where local ownership or partnership is required.</li>\r\n 	<li>It is possible to have only one member (shareholder) and one manager in a company, and this person (or entity) can be one and the same. This is generally not possible in most other jurisdictions.</li>\r\n 	<li>The member (shareholder) liabilities to the company only extends to their respective capital contributions. That means members are never personally liable for the company’s possible liabilities and/or debts.</li>\r\n 	<li>The minimum share capital for a Hungarian LLC is currently 3 million Hungarian Forints, equal to around 10,000 Euro. The whole amount does not have to be paid in full at the time of registration, in contrast to certain other jurisdictions where full payment at the time of registration is mandatory. Instead, the requirement is that all payments be made within 2 years of registration.</li>\r\n 	<li>The geographical location of Hungary is often an advantage for those doing business with other European or Central European countries, as it is located near several core European markets. Additionally, the economic growth shown by the country in recent years is also very attractive for those seeking foreign investment opportunities such as start ups, real estate etc.</li>\r\n 	<li>Hungary is also known for having a highly trained, multilingual workforce, earning salaries far lower than in most other EU countries.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<h2>A few other things you should know if company incorporation in Hungary interests you</h2>\r\n<ul>\r\n 	<li>A LLC must have a unique company name that does not bear a close resemblance to any other Hungarian legal entity’s name. If you register a LLC, the company name always has to end with the abbreviation “Kft.” (short for Korlátolt Felelõsségû Társaság)</li>\r\n 	<li>A Limited Liability Company, or LLC, is a suitable and popular option for both private and commercial ventures.</li>\r\n 	<li>A Hungarian LLC is not required to have a Board of Directors. Instead, all management is performed by one or several managers. It is the responsibility of the managing directors to keep records of all financial matters and decisions.</li>\r\n 	<li>There is a requirement to file an annual report about the company’s business activities with the government every year, but an auditor is not required by law.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nPorat Group can assist our clients with all aspects of company incorporation in Hungary, as well as arrangement of supporting infrastructure, such as corporate bank accounts, virtual offices, introduction to accountants, lawyers and other service providers. <a href=\"/?page_id=520\">Contact us</a> in order to book a consultation on the matter and/or for a personalized recommendation on what jurisdiction is best suited for your specific needs.', 'All The Advantages of Company Incorporation in Hungary', '', 'inherit', 'closed', 'closed', '', '3566-revision-v1', '', '', '2020-11-10 09:07:37', '2020-11-10 06:07:37', '', 3566, 'https://www.porat.com/3566-revision-v1/', 0, 'revision', '', 0),

The company can be fully owned by foreigners.

The set up costs for all company types are generally low, compared to most other attractive and developed jurisdictions.
