Overview Services

Standard Bank's Trust operations provide a corporate trustee and full trust administration service, including bookkeeping and accountancy facilities. We detail below the differences between our fiduciary and company management services:

The offshore trust - this concept has developed over more than 800 years. In its earliest form a trust was used to avoid medieval land ownership restrictions in the UK. Later such arrangements were adapted to protect the family fortune from taxation and from dissipation by its less responsible members. Modern trusts have developed into vehicles for general international asset protection. In this regard offshore trusts can provide a wide range of benefits to individuals or companies, through tailor-made solutions.

The offshore company - A company can be incorporated in the offshore jurisdiction most suited to your needs. Once incorporated, there is a range of ongoing services that we provide on your behalf.
