Marshall Islands Company for Software & SaaS
Every serious offshore engagement starts with the same three questions: what are you protecting, where will you bank, and what will the structure cost to run in year three — not just year one.
The Marshall Islands registry is the world's third-largest ship registry. For software & saas, the Marshall Islands IBC offers 0% tax on non-resident domestic corporations, formation in 1 business day and bearer-share history replaced by private registers — this guide explains where it fits, where it doesn't, and how to bank it.
