Marshall Islands Company + CIM Banque Account
Choosing the right jurisdiction is the single most consequential decision in any offshore project — it determines your tax exposure, banking options, privacy and long-term compliance burden for years to come.
This package pairs a Marshall Islands IBC (0% tax on non-resident domestic corporations, formation in 1 business day) 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
Marshall Islands delivers the structure: shipping, maritime, holding structures, no minimum capital, and bearer-share history replaced by private registers. 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 Marshall Islands incorporation under the MI Business Corporations Act 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 (flat annual fee) and bank review cycles
