If you will be doing business on the Internet it is usually important that you be able to accept payment via credit card. This is often troublesome at the very least. However we have arranged with WorldPay to provide you with everything you need to start doing business overthe Internet.
Now - Register Your Yacht under the British Flag. There is no flag more respected or advantageous when sailing the oceans than the Bitish Flag, but registering your vessel under the British Flag isn't straightforward unless you are a British citizen. We can offer you ship registration packages for any vessel that you've purchased (or will purchase) at a reasonable cost - - without your having to leave your home port.
Costs There are many variables, so it is impossible to quote exactly, but in general the costs will range from as little as $2,600 plus shipping for a new registration or $1,500 for a change of ownership. We've provided a page with quite a bit more information that should give you a better idea of what the costs will be and what you need to supply. If it doesn't answer your questions, just send us an email.
International Offshore Banking Not all banks are the same. The major concerns you need to have are safety, convenience and privacy. Achieving all three is a significant challenge and you can spend a great deal of time searching for a bank that will provide you with all three. Since each jurisdiction has different reserve requirements and insurance requirements as well as different levels of oversight, it is hard to know what the best options are. We provide you with a choice of banks in several jurisdictions (Switzerland, Isle of Man, Jersey, Antigua & Vanuatu), all of which provide you with the ability to manage your account via the Internet for maximum convenience. All of these jurisdictions have strong privacy laws and a history of protecting their clients. We will introduce you to the bank that you feel best fits your needs and help you through the often complex process of opening an account. Click here for further information.
Prefer an account in Hong Kong or Singapore? Contact us for our special account opening service for these especially difficult jurisdictions.
