Americans are living longer than ever before. With this longer life expectancy comes longer retirement. In fact, the National Commission on Retirement forecasts that by 2040 the average retirement will last 17.4 years, a full three years longer than today. In addition, if inflation continues as it has historically (2-3% annually), we can be assured of decreased purchasing power in the future. Combine these factors with the inabilities of Social Security and we have an atmosphere detrimental to retirement investing, capable of eroding the buying power of your retirement savings plan.

The richest American families have long combined three secret money making concepts to create their wealth -- Compounding Interest, Tax Deferral and investment in Real Estate among other savvy products. These secrets, when used with Charitable Trusts, Family Foundations and Private Banking Concepts have been the cornerstone for preserving the wealth of these family dynasties.

Working with special assets can enable a knowledgeable investor to profit from their better understanding of the investment and its potential. Why pay someone else to manage your retirement when you are capable of acquiring substantial retirement savings by investing in what you know and understand?

Courts have ruled time and again that people can plan their affairs so as to pay the minimum amount of tax possible and the taxpayer may use any legal means to do so. Americans ventured into the world of offshore a bit late in the game, nearly forty years after the rest of the world had capitalized on the financial advantages of moving assets offshore. The fact is that it is still both legal and quite simple for U.S. citizens to shelter their wealth offshore and to accumulate tax-deferred profits.

Our accounting firm can handle your complete tax filing requirements and we will file the appropriate IRS forms with the Internal Revenue Service to make sure that you have reported all of your income abroad as is required of every U.S. citizen and U.S. corporate taxpayer.

The best way to protect your assets is not to own any...only if you own an asset is it vulnerable to attack.

Our specialized expertise and exclusive connections can now provide you with the same access to the world of the elite "Accredited Investor". When you utilize a International Business Company (IBC) you can create your own "Investment Bank" where you, not someone else, has full decision and control. You can use this Investment Bank concept just like Wall Street professionals, and join with others to pool your investments.

The “Investment Bank” concept consists of attracting individuals with investment savings, offering them attractive rates of returns, and utilizing these funds to increase your output and profitability. Lending institutions, insurance companies, and venture capitalists have been using similar concepts for years. By using self-directed IRAs, 401Ks, SEPs, ROTHs, you can utilize this concept to increase profits and outpace inflation and the competition. Simply move funds from your existing IRAs to a self-directed IRA, set up the LLC and then move funds into the Investment Bank.

For asset protection and tax reduction, you can use a Nevada Limited Liability Company (LLC) as the "Investment Bank" manager. Your Nevada LLC acts as “professional funds manager” for your "Investment Bank". Your Nevada LLC may earn 10% to 20% in Manager fees as the manager of the Nevis Offshore LLC. Additionally, you can participate in further profits by also being an investor.

You'll guarantee your complete financial privacy by using your Nevis Offshore LLC and Nevada LLC to protect yourself from lawyers and lawsuits. By doing so, you'll insulate your wealth from liability, confiscation and seizure.

Independent-minded investors have been able to achieve substantial returns for years. From lease options to tax liens, knowledgeable investors holding special assets have flourished while the mainstream has had neither the vision nor the knowledge to participate.

A carefully designed corporate strategy allows you to legally reduce your tax burden while also avoiding legal and taxation problems. Because a corporation has a life of its own, it allows you to care for your loved ones free from probate court and its associated legal and tax costs and problems.

Simply put . . . you keep more of what you earn!

Working with special assets can enable a knowledgeable investor to profit from their better understanding of the investment and its potential.

Combining your investment strategies with the use of an IRA and Nevis Limited Liability Company (LLC) can be an incredible investment pairing. Through the utilization of the IRA’s tax-deferred qualities, investment earnings are able to grow at a much faster rate than earnings created without this tax-deferred status.

When you combine the magic of compound interest with tax free investments, you can powerfully accelerate the rapid growth of money
by investing with pre-tax dollars, instead of using after tax dollars.

In addition to listed investments, our clients have the ability to invest in special assets such as:

Structured Settlements Real Estate Equipment Leasing Judgments Stocks, Bonds, Options Promissory Notes Viatical Settlements Sales Certificates

Mobile Homes Factoring Receivables Deeds of Trust General Partnerships Mortgages Limited Partnerships Mutual Funds

There exists two investment worlds in America: one for Wall Street bankers and one for ordinary citizens. The first investment world consists of premium investment opportunities of the most lucrative profitability reserved, by law, for only the most well-connected or wealthiest of investors. The second world consists of the remaining lessor opportunities available to ordinary citizens, usually returning marginal returns of 2% or less a year, including stocks, bonds, CDs, etc. Most common investors have never heard of this 'first-tier' investment world, but they've seen the outlandish billion-dollar bank profits and bonuses and wondered "How is this even possible?" Clients of John Ewing know, and more importantly can gain access to this secretive investment world.
The Federal Securities Laws of 1933 (Securities) and 1934 (Exchanges) restrict and place heavy encumbrances upon companies that wish to go public or raise funds and thus prevents many of the best investment companies from ever offering their investments to anyone except a narrowly defined class of "Accredited Investors". In short, to be an Accredited Investor you must have a net worth of at least 1 million dollars, or an annual income exceeding $200,000 for two years. Less than 4% of Americans meet these narrow qualifications, by design. However, now there is another option!

The “Private Bank” concept consists of attracting individuals with retirement savings, offering them attractive rates of returns, and utilizing these funds to increase your output and profitability.

Lending institutions, insurance companies, and venture capitalists have been using similar concepts for years.

By using self-directed IRAs you can utilize this concept which will allow you to become more profitable and stay ahead of the competition.

Simply move funds from your existing IRA to a self-directed IRA. Then set up your LLC and move funds into this Limited Liability Company.

You can move fast into any investment.

Each year, increasing numbers of investors are attracted by international financial centers to establish businesses in the form of an offshore company, offshore trust, offshore mutual fund, offshore insurance company, offshore bank account or to even start their own offshore bank. It is estimated that 60% of the world's wealth is held in offshore accounts through offshore companies and that 50% of the world's trade in goods is transacted through various offshore jurisdictions. As the years have progressed, so has the application of offshore services and the number of offshore
jurisdictions offering such benefits. Offshore companies or offshore trusts are not the illicit hideaways from tax authorities as sometimes presented. When set up and managed correctly they provide asset protection in a perfectly legal manner. In simple terms, an International Business Corporation can provide excellent asset protection and privacy while at the same time provides a client with excellent access to International Investment Banking opportunities.

Just a quick 270 miles from Miami, the Commonwealth of the Cayman Islands is an independent country within the British Commonwealth of Nations. There are no income taxes, capital gains taxes, or corporate, estate, profit, sales, value added, gift, or inheritance taxes. There are also no taxation agreements with other countries and no tax treaty with the U.S.

The Offshore Protection Plan is everything you need to begin your new International Business Corporation (IBC) and operate legally with complete Asset Protection. Offshore Protection is quick and very affordable.

Offshore banking has increased rapidly around the world since the mid-1960s because of the growth and liquidity of world financial markets. The full spectrum of financial services from offshore banks include deposit taking, money transmissions, provision of foreign exchange, trade finance, credit facilities, investment custody, investment management, fund management, trustee services, and corporate administration.

Offshore banks provide access to politically and economically stable offshore jurisdictions that may be of advantage for those living in areas where there is a risk of expropriation or where there is instability or corruption within the banking system. Many offshore banks offer services that may be unavailable in one's country of residence. The British Virgin and Cayman Islands, to name a few, prohibit the disclosure to any third-party of information pertaining to a client’s affairs without the client ’s explicit written permission under penalty of law. Some offshore banks may even provide higher interest rates than banks in the home country.

The majority of offshore banks operate within highly regulated environments under national monetary bodies such as Central Banks, Financial Services Commissions, etc. These banks are required to maintain capital adequacy requirements in accordance with international standards, and they must submit financial reports at least quarterly to the regulator on the current state of their business.

One common misconception about offshore banking and offshore accounts is that they can legally prevent assets from being subject to personal income tax or interest. This conception is usually not applicable because the personal income tax statutes of most countries makes no distinction between interest earned in local banks and those earned abroad. For instance, people subject to US income tax are required to declare any offshore bank earnings they may have.

An offshore bank account will allow you to safely and privately explore, with few restrictions, the far reaches of the vast and diverse financial universe; from the bond markets of Korea to the stock exchanges of Eastern Europe; from ultra-private Liechtenstein trust arrangements to the most successful funds; from unique commodity investments to Caribbean corporations; from Israeli nanotech start-ups to age-old European blue-chips; from the mysterious and secretive world of offshore mutual funds to tax-free Swiss gold accounts; from Isle of Man Insurance contracts to Danish multi-currency investment accounts; from uniquely structured tax-free Austrian funds to Bulgarian mortgages; and much more beyond.

The profile of a typical offshore bank account holder generally depends upon whether the account holder is an individual client or a corporate client, but both have one thing in common, offshore banking provides a series of advantages for both.

Offshore banks provide access to politically and economically stable jurisdictions. This may be an advantage for those residents in areas where there is a risk of political or economic turmoil who fear their assets may be frozen, seized, or disappear - eg. during economic crisis, etc.

Some offshore banks may operate with a lower cost base and can provide higher interest rates than the rate in your home country due to lower overheads and a lack of government interference.

Interest is generally paid by offshore banks without tax deducted. This is an advantage to individuals who do not pay tax on worldwide income or who do not pay tax until a tax return is prepared.

Some offshore banks offer banking services that may not be available from domestic banks such as anonymous offshore bank accounts, numbered accounts, higher or lower rate loans based on risk and investment opportunities not available elsewhere.

Offshore banking is often linked to corporate structures such as offshore companies, offshore trusts or foundations which may have specific tax and asset protection advantages for some individuals.

Offshore finance is one of the few industries, along with tourism, that geographically remote island nations can competitively engage in. Offshore banking and finance can thus help developing countries to source investments and create growth in their economies. Offshore banking creates additional tax and banking competition and is an advantage to the industry as tax competition allows people to choose an appropriate balance of services and taxes.

Move funds from your existing IRA to a self-directed IRA.
Set up your IBC and then move funds into a Nevis Limited Liability Company. You now have control to move funds into high yield investments tax free and compound your earnings.

Insulate your wealth from liability, confiscation and seizure using a single member IBC directly owned by your self-directed IRA account.

Using funds from your self-directed IRA and IBC combination, you can load up your tax free and deductible investment year after year.

If you are buying offshore properties, you can qualify your next investment as a large down payment on real estate. As you contribute to your IRA you are able to get tax deductions. You can bring down the mortgage by doubling up your payments. Learn how the real estate professionals are doing it.

Guarantee your complete financial privacy by using your self-directed IRA and IBC in combination to protect you from lawyers and lawsuits.

You can use a IBC as your investment company with the only member partner being your IRA. You become the “funds manager”. Create your own “Private Bank” where you, not someone else, have decision control. Use this Private Banking concept just like the professionals on Wall Street. Join with others and pool your investments.

People who have worked hard for their financial rewards, and who want to keep their assets secret and out of reach of lawyers and lawsuits or seizure by government agencies:

• Anyone who is the potential target of a lawsuit
• Anyone concerned about The Patriot Act
• Anyone with a high net worth
• Anyone paying high premiums for liability insurance
• Professionals and business owners
• Individuals who need to keep their financial affairs private
• Anyone needing to separate high-risk investments from other assets
• Anyone wishing to buy bonds, securities, and mutual funds or precious metals not available to U.S. citizens

The ‘type’ of person who falls into the above three categories range from those with inherited wealth to those who have earned it; all utilize offshore banking for the benefits of taxation planning, estate planning, privacy and asset protection.

The first step in becoming judgment-proof is to get your assets out of your personal name. One of the best ways to do this is to transfer your liquid assets into an offshore corporation. This is a legal entity that you control. Lawyers for plaintiffs will only continue to pursue cases they believe wil pay off, not those against judgment-proof defendants. The best way of getting the plaintiff's lawyer to accept a token settlement is to convince the lawyer that you have no assets.

By forming an offshore international business company, you create a legal entity to hold liquid assets. And no one knows who the owner is. All of the investgative agencies, which help trial lawyers, ex-spouses, ex-business partners, and creditors locate the wealth of the defendants they want to sue, will not be able to see or locate your offshore accounts. This makes you a poor prospect for a lawsuit.

Is it legal for me to have an offshore bank account?
Yes, absolutely legal. Offshore banking has been routinely and legally used for many years by individuals and organizations worldwide. Because many countries encourage international trade and enterprise, there are usually only limited restrictions on residents doing business or having bank accounts in other countries. However, reporting requirements on these accounts differ from country to country.

Why should I bank offshore?
There are many reasons to bank offshore. Reasons include asset protection, estate planning, confidentiality, better returns and the chance to exploit active business interests overseas from a zero tax jurisdiction with near hermetic confidentiality.

Is it convenient to use offshore banks?
Yes. With Internet, e-mail, fax and telephone banking and the use of ATMs, your money is just as accessible as it is from your local bank account. You can easily and quickly transfer your money around the world by electronic transfer and can effectively bank wherever you are.
