Offshore insurance company

An offshore insurance company is a regulated financial entity that insures the risks of third parties or entities in a tax-free or offshore jurisdiction. The main advantage of offshore insurance companies is that they work in a tax-free environment and with less financial regulations than the same type of company in an onshore jurisdiction. Generally this type of insurance companies with 0% tax liability are used to cover the risks of companies and individuals registered in high tax countries and in the case of using insurance or compensation it would be in a free of tax country.

The countries that have specialized in offshore insurance are Belize, Bahamas, Aruba, Cayman Islands and Cook Islands. In reference to the cost of offshore insurance company registration, the most regulated and expensive country would be the tax haven of Cayman Islands and the most economical would be Belize, the average price to constitute an offshore insurance would be 49,995 euros. Keep in mind that the constitution process can take up to 6 months and it is possible that the regulatory body requires the physical presence of the managers of the company to verify that they have no relation to the activities related to money laundering.
