The cryptocurrency market is one of the most interesting ecosystems and continues to grow rapidly in the recent years. It creates new opportunities to run a location independent business, tie it up to your own philosophy, run it with minimum personal identification, all while using existing tax legislations worldwide. Therefore more and more entrepreneurs are beginning to use it as a form of business.  Some people claim that it is the future of money and entrepreneurship.

Despite the obvious benefits such a form of business has, cryptocurrencies are not without their challenges. One of the main ones is a confusion in many countries regarding how cryptocurrency should be categorized and taxed. Governmental bodies of certain regions of the world like China, Japan, Korea, US, UK and  some countries in EU are starting to impose financial regulation on cryptocurrency transactions, reducing the benefits of the business and  making  its future uncertain. Thus, to avoid all unnecessary stress in setting up the business and potential financial losses in taxes company owners are more and more considering the benefits of incorporating offshore.

Offshore company formation is a straightforward process with minimum bureaucracy

The Articles and Memorandum of Association are drafted, which represent the details and by-laws of the company and are filed by an offshore company agent; together with the initial company registration documents, it is sent off to the appropriate Register. Once these documents are approved, a certificate of incorporation is issued signifying the formation of the new company.
