INTRODUCTION
1. Common business issues in a foreign investment
Generally during phase I there are some difficulties, such as:
- Time consuming: it might take one year from the time you make a preliminary decision to the time you finalise it.
- Lack of operational support in the first phase: incorporate a company might be an easy process but taking care about the start-up phase sometimes require local presence and people to act on operational aspects.
AUX assists mainly with the establishing process and the result is to improve and shorten phase I while the client benefits for the more profitable phase two and three of the process.
2. Tax efficient structure
The concept of the “empty box” company is not efficient anymore and important ingredients are:
a) Substance
b) Minimum of local presence
AUX provides a basic company administration and appointment of people responsible for general management. These aspects might give the significant difference to complete the tax structure arrangement and make it work.
