Before incorporating a company, or even choosing a jurisdiction, you need to plan a corporate structure for your business and, based on this, decide the purpose of the company you wish to incorporate. Understanding the business structure of your company is essential, as it will determine the jurisdiction and type of company you choose in order to best meet your needs.
As different legal entities are usually subject to different taxation rules, it is essential to have a clear vision for your company, including its scope of activity and corporate structure. For tax planning purposes, it is crucial to choose the right legal structure for your business; otherwise, you risk incurring extra expenses that could easily have been avoided. Also, some company types are bound by certain restrictions in terms of incorporating new business partners or third-party investors, which may be a problem if you plan to work with invested capital. One of the most important aspects is the liability of the owners: different legal entities have different levels and mechanisms of liability for the business owner with respect to the company’s relationships with third parties. In order to avoid unnecessary risks, we strongly advise you to think twice before choosing a legal structure.
A company’s legal structure refers to its internal composition and its management and supervisory bodies as well as the liability of the owners in relation to third parties. On this basis, we can offer you the following legal company structures:

Low Maintenance Cost Territories are jurisdictions with particularly favorable tax systems where the annual maintenance costs of the company are lower. An effective tax planning strategy often revolves around these jurisdictions, as low taxes and maintenance costs are among the most effective and straightforward cost-cutting tools for any business.
Company maintenance
In general, company maintenance includes any operations that ensure a business is active in its day-to-day endeavours. In addition, many favourable tax jurisdictions require every international company to undergo a company renewal procedure on an annual basis, by submitting a renewal application and paying a certain fee to the state. In terms of tax planning, company maintenance is normally understood as referring to the expenses associated with paying taxes, state fees, stamp duties, charges and any other costs that may arise from operating a company. These include, but are not limited to:
Taxes
Import/export duties
Salaries
License fees
Office rental
Stamp duties
Annual renewal fee
Notary fees
State fees
Maintenance usually does not include any expenses directly related to business transactions, such as the cost of raw materials to be used in production or the purchase of goods for resale.
Depending on the jurisdiction, company maintenance can either be the biggest source of expenses (especially due to taxes and renewal fees) or a barely noticeable cost of conducting a profitable business. This is the main reason why jurisdictions with low maintenance costs are so popular with companies seeking to optimise their taxes.
Steps to maintaining a businessThe first step to effective business continuity is financial planning, including tax planning. A company needs to identify its biggest source of costs and then find a way to gradually reduce those costs. One of the primary goals of effectively maintaining a business is to reduce its tax burden and annual renewal fees. The second step is to choose a jurisdiction with low maintenance costs and an advantageous tax regime. Confidus Solutions is happy to share our expertise on the matter to help you analyze the options and select the best jurisdiction to incorporate. The third step is to move the actual company or incorporation to the jurisdiction of your choice. The details of this process may vary by jurisdiction and legal business structure, so each company should carefully consider which business structure is most beneficial in its particular case. In the long term, maintenance costs are mainly related to wages, taxes and equipment. Wages are effectively determined by the cost of labor in each jurisdiction, which in turn is affected by work culture, levels of education and skills, level of competition, and so on. Taxes depend on the legal business structure and the activities undertaken by a company - some will require licenses and patents that need to be renewed periodically with costs. Finally, the supplies needed depend on the business, but typically include rent (providing premises), utility bills (providing heating, electricity, water, etc.), and supplies such as petrol and office supplies.
Before you even create the documents, you need to make two decisions to determine how to proceed: In which jurisdiction will you incorporate your company? And which legal form will you choose? These two factors determine a variety of things, such as the incorporation process, the documents required, and the taxes your company must pay. Visit our website to learn more about the main jurisdictions and legal structures.
After you have decided on the location and legal form of your company, you need to think about the company name and legal address. There are usually specific requirements that the company name must meet, but these vary from country to country, so it is best to check the availability of your desired name before creating any documents. A legal address can usually be rented along with virtual office services if required.

In order to understand the main advantages and disadvantages of savings accounts, it is helpful to analyze their main characteristics, especially when compared to other types of accounts.
Advantages As previously mentioned, one of the key features (and benefits) of a savings account is the ability to set aside a portion of your income for a specific future purchase or simply as a safety cushion. Additionally, this type of account offers a return in the form of interest, which provides additional motivation to top up your savings account on a monthly basis rather than keeping the money in a checking account.
In addition, savings accounts are more liquid compared to other interest-bearing banking services or financial instruments. In many cases, short-term access to the funds is possible. In contrast, it's more complicated and time-consuming (if not impossible) to withdraw a pension fund or sell a stock or other financial instrument.
If you're risk averse, a savings account is a great option to keep your savings in a totally secure environment while still earning a relatively low rate of return. Furthermore, given the current threat of negative interest rates, a savings account could be a better choice than Treasury bills or other short- and medium-term government bonds.
Disadvantages Liquidity can also be perceived as a disadvantage of savings accounts. Considering that the main goal of these types of accounts is to save for the future, the ability to access the balance almost immediately can lead you to spend it before you originally planned to.
Looking at savings accounts from a return on investment perspective, banks offer a lower interest rate on your savings compared to other financial instruments. So if you're a risk taker and looking to not only save but grow your capital significantly, other investment options may be better suited to you.
