Guernsey Company + CIM Banque Account
The offshore world has professionalised dramatically over the last decade. Substance rules, beneficial-ownership registers and bank compliance have raised the bar — and raised the value of getting the structure right.
This package pairs a Guernsey Company (0% standard corporate rate, formation in 3–5 business days) with a corporate account at CIM Banque in Geneva, Switzerland — swiss banking with genuine remote account opening for offshore entities. CIM Banque is one of very few Swiss banks that onboards offshore companies fully remotely.
Why This Pairing Works
Guernsey delivers the structure: insurance cells (pcc/icc), private equity, no minimum capital, and non-public register. CIM Banque delivers the rails: CHF, USD, EUR + 20 currencies with chf/usd 10,000 typical. The compliance narrative connecting the two — activity, corridors, source of funds — is what GoldenKey engineers before either application is filed.
Package Scope
- Full Guernsey incorporation under the Companies (Guernsey) Law 2008 with registered agent and office for year one
- Apostilled corporate document pack prepared to CIM Banque's checklist
- Bank application build, submission and compliance-query handling to decision
- Compliance calendar covering renewal (annual validation) and bank review cycles
