So in spain there is a law which states that if you own less than 24% shares of a company your name doesnt have to be public, even for the goverment. So if you would set up a offshore comapny with 5 shareholders each less than 24%, and this comany would own 100% of the shares of the spanish company, you re basically anonymous. You just need a director.
Is anyone familiar with this set-up and can tell me more about it by any chance.
Well, the rule you describe does not only apply for Spain but for the Entire EU. Yes you are true, but the trouble starts when you need a bank account or EMI for the entity where the bank will want to know ALL shareholders of the company, gone is your anonymity!
