Offshore companies can be any of the five basic types:

• International Business Company (IBC)
• Limited Liability Company (LLC)
• Private Limited Company (PLC)
• Global Business Company (GBC)
• SARL ('Société à responsabilité limitée' in French, or 'Sociedade anónima de responsabilidade limitada' in Portuguese)

Each type of company has its unique uses and strengths, and some are available only in certain jurisdictions or countries.

Choosing the Best Country
