Scores 0–10: higher = more favourable for that criterion in the model (CFC reading: high score = weak/no CFC if you are tax-resident here).
Cost of operating
Band: Moderate
- Setup (USD): $1200–2500
- Annual (USD): $450–2000
Formation packages often ~$1.2–2.2k in year one (registry + resident agent). Then: $300 franchise tax + agent/secretarial—roughly $450–975/year before real bookkeeping. Fine for a light shell/holding; local activity or picky banks need more budget. Not “free” despite the offshore reputation.
USD ranges for a lean structure. Sources listed below.
