First, what do we mean by ‘offshore company’? One meaning is any country other than your own. The more common interpretation is a country with low or even zero corporate taxes. It is this latter definition that we are concerned with on this site.

The fact that you have landed on this website indicates that you are paying too much tax and are looking for ways to reduce it.

 

We provide a range of advisory services to help you select the best jurisdiction, best banking facilities, and lowest taxes. We can advise on VAT (aka GST), particularly if you are planning to trade within the EU/EEA. We can also advise on personal residency, where appropriate.  

We have series of free business articles available to our readers in the CoffeeHouse Articles section. We concentrate on the matters of residency, international company registration, and international banking. You will also find information about zero tax jurisdictions, low tax jurisdictions and helpful topics about offshore company formation.

about our tai-pan

The Story Behind Tai-Pan

What is Tai-Pan

Historically, Tai-Pan is a ‘Big Shot’ or ‘Supreme Leader’ in Cantonese, referring to the British trading houses created in Hong Kong following the Treaty of Nanking signed in 1842. A fictional version of the establishment of the great trading houses is given in James Clavell’s novel ‘Tai-Pan’ published in 1966.

Our Tai-Pan

We formed Tai-Pan in 2013 to offer the possibility to modern entrepreneurs to create their own ‘trading houses’ in Hong Kong. Our company has obtained a Corporate Service Provider licence and successfully forms companies in Hong Kong, Singapore and many other international offshore jurisdictions.

What to expect from us

We will guide you through the process to ensure you have a fully functioning Hong Kong company and help you set up a suitable bank account or e-wallet together with other ancillary services.
