Genuine asset protection and efficient cross-border planning rarely rely on a single jurisdiction. Gerli & Co. designs multi-tier corporate structures tailored to each client's logistics, tax position and wealth-preservation goals — and then incorporates and administers them directly. Since inception we have incorporated well-managed offshore, onshore and maritime entities across a wide range of jurisdictions, always guiding clients to the structure best suited to their needs rather than a one-size-fits-all template.
The cornerstone jurisdiction. The Panama Sociedad Anónima (S.A.) and the Limited Liability Company are flexible, internationally recognised vehicles operating under a territorial tax system, ideal for holding businesses, vessels, real estate and investments. Panama also offers the Private Interest Foundation — covered in detail on its own page.
The benchmark for corporate agility and simplicity. BVI Business Companies are the preferred vehicle for cross-border transactions, joint ventures and holding structures, widely accepted by banks and counterparties worldwide.
The international standard for institutional investment funds, private equity and sophisticated corporate joint ventures requiring full alignment with global financial markets.
Highly efficient jurisdictions for international trade, holding structures and seamless integration with maritime fleet ownership — the natural corporate counterpart to RMI vessel registration.
The premier strategic gateway to Asian markets, offering a reputable, stable common-law system and a powerful, credible corporate presence.
Among the world's strongest asset-protection jurisdictions, with robust legislative barriers against foreign judgments — well suited to insulating legitimate wealth from frivolous international litigation.
We also incorporate in Belize, Seychelles, Cyprus and the Bahamas, selecting the home that genuinely fits the client's objectives.
