Branch
If you want to continue doing business with your old (offshore or onshore) entity, we offer a unique solution. A foreign company can obtain the resident status and tax ID, but without forming a new legal entity. The branch is an organizational part of a company that does not have the status of a legal entity. Once the branch is registered, the banks will treat your branch as a local company, not a foreign company, making account opening easier.
Bank accounts
There are many international banks operating in Serbia. Below are a list of the major banks that are currently here:
Western Europe: Banca Intesa, Unicredit, Erste, Raiffeisen bank, Societe Generale. Russia: Sberbank, VTB, Expobank. Turkey: Halkbank. UAE: Mirabank. China: Bank of China.
What is particularly attractive is that Serbia does not have CRS reporting, meaning that this is one of the few places where privacy still exists.
Family office
The Family office package provides a wide range of services such as company administration, travel arrangements, day-to-day cooperation with government authorities, accounting services, legal services, nominee and trust services.
Association
An Association is a legal entity founded by 3 individuals, which can directly carry out commercial or other activities set forth in the statute of the Association. The founders are not shareholders or the owners of the part of the Association, which legally disconnects them from the ownership or the status of the Ultimate Beneficial Owner UBO. This is a unique product when compared to other jurisdictions and entities, where according to the international laws and regulations founders are treated as UBO’s.
Company
Legalize your business in a smart way and stop risking your funds. Change the business structure or adjust the existing offshore activity through the legal entities with residence in Serbia.
Endowment
An Еndowment is a legal entity without members, to which the founder has allotted certain assets (basic assets) for a benevolent cause or private purposes. The founding stake of the endowment is tax-free. Assets are legally separated but fully controlled by a beneficiary and therefore protection is 100% guaranteed.
Study in Serbia
Serbia also offers international students the great possibility to learn and to experience a country with a extraordinary history; and international students can learn all about it while pursuing some of the numerous faculties offering the possibility of studying in accredited programs in English.
If you are interested in studying in Serbia, you will be even more pleased to know that besides many options for studying, Belgrade can offer you an excellent night life.
Residence permit
When you are a resident of Serbia as an individual, banks treat you differently. Things are easier because you are treated in the same manner as a Serbian national. Non-residents have more difficulties in dealing with banks as well as government agencies. Obtaining residence is a fast and straightforward.
Ready-made solutions
Shelf companies and branches are available for purchase. They will have a director and bank account as part of the package.
