IBC Merchant Accounts has the ability to quickly form an International Business Company, or IBC for our clients, whether they are applying for a merchant account or not. The international company formations we provide through our partner international incorporation services allow you to incorporate your present company or online business in a jurisdiction that meets your business objectives.

If you are applying for a Direct International Merchant Account, you are required to have a company in the jurisdiction or country of the processing bank. So, it may be the case that, because most of our direct merchant accounts are setup in Europe, you would incorporate in a country within the European Union. We provide UK company formations for this purpose along with resident directors and any other required corporate services, such as corporate signatures, proof of residency and identification documents to fulfill the bank's requirements for processing, and accounting services for annual filings. We provide EU incorporations in Cyprus and Gibraltar as well.

If your main business objective is to establish an international presence with privacy and/or investment diversification, we can form an International Business Company for you in Belize, which we recommend as the most private, secure jurisdiction. Your Belize entity can govern your merchant account and can even own your EU corporation to further limit your liability. On top of that, we can link your Belize IBC to a Belize Asset Protection Trust in order to provide you with asset protection within the limited liability you are already getting with the IBC formation. We also provide IBCs in The Bahamas, British Virgin Islands, Panama, and Seychelles if you prefer one of these jurisdictions for your international company formation.

Note that, if you need an International Banking Account setup under your International Business Company to receive settlements from your merchant account or simply to receive funds on behalf of your international corporation, we can setup a corporate international bank account along with your IBC and/or Belize Trust in any of the jurisdictions we setup IBCs.
