What is the definition of Offshore?
Simply explained it is a country that you can bank, borrow and invest that has laws and regulations more favorable to the country that you currently operate. For example a businessperson from the UK or Canada decides to set up a manufacturing facility in Panama because the labor laws are a lot easier than at home. An added benefit is to operate in better weather conditions.. You physically don’t have to move, it’s only your business to take advantage of benefits that your own country cannot provide.
