Hello,

I need to invoice a software licence to a big company in USA.
The turnover is around 150K$ per year.
I am looking for an existing offshore company which can do the following service:
- invoice my customer
- take some % of the invoiced funds
- return the rest of the funds to me

Please let me know if such companies are still existing.

Is thelicense payable per month, or per year?
Where does your share have to be transferred to?
(private account, company account, can/will you provide invoice to offshore corp)
How do you want to receive the money? (via bank, or otherwise ?)
What percentage are you willing to pay for for this service?

Thank you for your answers.

There is one invoice per month. Its amount depends of the quantity of software the customer orders, each month. It can be sometimes 0 USD (in August for instance), to 20KUSD. In my opinion, the easiest is i do each month the invoice document, i forward it to you and you send it to my customer (or i send it straight to my customer). Once you receive the funds, you take your profit and return them to me.

Percentage for your profit
I already got only one offer from an incorporator who has an offshore company especially made for that (but not suitable for me because based in a country not really good for my US customer), and he asked me 8%. If the company were located in a good country, i would have said "yes". I think 8% is fair for a standard service (offshore company for multi-customers). I think it can be higher with more services, depending of how the company looks real (dedicated web site, good reputation country location, ...). I am ready to pay higher for such services. I am of course open to your propositions.

To collect the funds, i see two possibilities:
1. via an anonymous debit card provided by you
2. via an e-wallet ?
"?" because i have no experience with e-wallet, and i do not know if :
- transfers from offshore company to e-wallet are allowed
- e-wallet does not apply CRS from AEOI
And i do not know everything, so i am open to other suggestions.

Please let me know if you have other questions.

From the list at the bottom of your post, i know that Hong-Kong is the best. This is my preference.
It is not possible with Belize, Delaware, Dominica, Panama, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts and Nevis, Seychelles.
If Hong-Kong is not possible, i need to check with my customer.
My customer is a big known company in USA. If something looks not normal, its financial dpt will block the payments.
Please note that the juridiction of the bank is also important.

Why don't you just setup two entities to do the transactions? you could setup a offshore company in two different jurisdictions!

I have companies in HK and UAE but are companies with a history of 9 years (HK) and 3 years (UAE).
For these kind of services I use Bulgaria and Scotland. Check with your customer.

@auric
Setup entities means i will be UBO for these entities. And so far, it is not possible anymore for UBO (of non exotic bank account with IBAN) to avoid CRS (i leave in Europe).

@Internationaloff
I prefer to avoid Scotland because my USA customer has also a big "child company" (with same name than in USA) in UK.
I presently do not know for Bulgaria & UAE.
HK with history could be ok (it depends of its history and appearance: web site, ...).
But please note that the bank location is also very important. Exotic countries are not possible. In fact, i need to know the couple "company jurisdiction & bank jurisdiction".
FYI, my USA customer has already accepted to pay invoices from a HK company with a Breder Suasso account (Czech bank). This is the best solution that i know. If i could reproduce that, i am sure it will work.

US companies accept all companies in EU member countries. thu&¤#

Thank you for your answers (i guess Malta means Leupay (?)). FYI my customer pays in USD (not sure USD is ok for Leupay).
This is a good start.
I need some time to think about everything.
