Guiding your way to live, work, invest, or, retire, internationally.

Making it easy…..
We have worked with hundreds of clients who have embraced the benefits of living outside of their country of birth. We have helped people set up their international corporate structure if they are choosing to work abroad, and/or an international asset protection company if they have assets they are trying to preserve.
We have helped people identify the type of international bank accounts they will need to use personally, as well as the various options and strategies for their corporate accounts. There are many countries that have compelling 2nd Residency and/or 2nd Citizenship programs for retirees. However, finding the right programs for one’s particular situation can be challenging, which is where our experience is invaluable.
If you have considered living abroad but are not sure where to begin, reach out and we can schedule a time to speak. Let’s figure out what First Step makes sense for you!
International (Offshore) Bank Accounts – Our facilitation services are perfect for those individuals who value their time and our experience. We can help you obtain personal and corporate bank accounts, brokerage and forex services in a variety of international jurisdictions.


Self Directed IRAs (SDIRAs) using International Limited Liability Companies (ILLC) – The most powerful strategy for owners of Individual Retirement accounts (traditional, Roth, Rollover 401K, and other qualified programs), SDIRAs allow the beneficial owner to take complete control over fund allocation. This strategy allows you to direct the funds to alternative investments such as real estate, rental properties, agriculture, precious metals, as well as the traditional stocks, bonds, ETFs, mutual funds and other standard investment instruments,
Asset Protection Experts – Asset protection in its simplest form is a balance between cost and protection. The higher the level of protection, the higher the cost. We utilize the best strategy for our individual client’s needs. This may start as a very simple solution – an easy first step – and grow into a very sophisticated structure over time. As well, certain individuals need a “steel wall” immediately.


International Business Companies (IBC) – The perfect structure for creating an international operating business that manages domestic businesses located in different countries around the world. Learn strategies to defer taxes on income generated by international businesses.
Private Holding Companies – An international Limited Liability Company (LLC) is an extremely effective asset protection structure for a variety of situations. You can think of this as your personal safe for holding property, rental units, precious metals, bank accounts, brokerage account and, ultimately, any asset you wish to protect simply and quickly. As well, they can be used in conjunction with Trusts and IBCs to create bullet proof asset protection strategies.

Alternative Investments – The average investor typically has unlimited access to standard investment instruments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, ETFs and the plethora of investment options promoted by agents of the system. However, the savvy investor will augment these standard investments with alternative investments such as investment properties, income generating properties, precious metals, timber, agricultural products and a variety of unique opportunities designed to add depth and breadth to your investment holdings.
