Re opening an Amazon type account for your tax free Offshore Company or IBC, here’s how that usually works.
1. The Company is set up in a nil tax jurisdiction with a (nil tax jurisdiction based Nominee Director + a Nominee Shareholder (or Private Foundation Shareholder ie where the client is based in a country which has a CFC law). The client/company owner is appointed as an Authorised Representative of the Company. The client then shops for and then recommends a/the Online Store Platform (eg Amazon) for the company to open an account with.
2. To make it quicker and easier for the client what we normally do is provide you/the client with a Limited/Specific Power of Attorney (see sample below) which will enable you/the client to (a) obtain the account opening forms (b) apply to open the Amazon/equivalent account on behalf of the company as an authorised representative of the company and (c) to trade/operate (ie once the account is opened) the account as an authorised Trader (to assist this we also supply a Consultancy Agreement which is included in the price paid for incorporation).
3. The client obtains and completes the Amazon Account Opening Application and emails it to us for signing by the Company Director
4. We arrange for the application forms to be signed and for those + DD/KYC documents as regards the applicant company (and nominee director/shareholder etc) to be sent to Amazon.
