ENTITY SETUP
Everything you need to set up a business entity
At Safeguard Global, we can help you with every aspect of the entity setup process, navigating complex and changing regulations as we go.
- Permanent establishment risk mitigation: Get guidance on the most common triggers for permanent establishment risk and advice on the appropriate entity structure.
- Resident directors and shareholders: Keep your business compliant and safe with our local resident directors.
- Filing, banking, and accounting: Make sure all required business licenses are obtained, registrations are filed in a timely manner, and that your finances stay compliant. Forming an entity typically requires paying a filing fee and submitting documents to the Secretary of State. A registered agent is required to receive legal documents on behalf of your business and maintain your company's legal standing. We can also open and manage your international corporate bank accounts, and help you maintain a separate business bank account to ensure legal and financial compliance by keeping personal and business finances distinct.
- Local expertise: Get access to in-country experts who provide personalized support to both you and your employees — ensuring a deep understanding of local nuance and cultural expectations.
EXPERT GUIDANCE
A focus on managing your income tax
At Safeguard Global, our expertise in global accounting means you get much more than just a simple entity setup.
- Guidance on entity structure: When you’re expanding into a new foreign market, the entity structure you establish has a significant impact on how you pay taxes and what tax benefits you see. Different entity structures determine how business profits are reported and taxed. Some entities pay income taxes at the business level, while others pass profits through to owners' personal tax returns. For example, sole proprietors and partners typically report business income on their personal tax return or personal tax returns, while corporations may pay income taxes directly. Understanding how to file the appropriate tax return or tax returns is essential for compliance, as income taxes may be due at both the business and personal level, depending on the entity type. We can help you choose what’s right for you.
- Your local expert: Wherever your business grows, our experts keep you in the know on local tax laws and regulatory updates.
- Comprehensive accounting services: In addition to entity setup, Safeguard Global offers financial services, including regular tax filings.
