What is an offshore company?

An offshore company, known as an international business company (IBC) may consider to be a company registered outside a country that an owner is residing. Similar to a domestic company, an offshore company can operate a business, own property, open bank accounts, etc. However, it cannot carry out its business in the country of formation, which means it only conducts its business outside the country of formation. Besides, most entrepreneurs open an offshore company with the aim of optimizing tax because it generally does not have tax obligations in the country where it was formed.
