Many choose to incorporate an offshore company which subsequently is owned by a foundation. Here the Belize foundation would be used to hold shares in a Seychelles IBC. This way one can get the protection and continuity offered by the foundation and in the same time – engage in commercial activities. Useful to know, that Belize Foundation can be established having charitable or non-charitable purposes.
Why Foundation not Trust?
There are rather similar functions and reasons for establishing a Foundation or a Trust, the difference is the legal structure. The main difference is that Trusts historically originate from common law countries, e.g., England, USA and India, therefore are mainly used by these countries. While Foundation is a product predominant and understandable by the Civil law countries, e.g., France, Germany, Russia, Spain. In reality one can even say, allegorically, that Foundations are Trusts for the countries who do not understand Trusts.
For more complex structures, additional Belize, Seychelles or BVI companies can be formed under the same Foundation at additional fee.
