Panama Anonymous Bearer Share Corporations

For anonymous corporations Panama is the best there is, period.



Under Panama law a S.A. corporation can be formed that is owned by the owner of the physical certificates of stock with no recorded owner on record anywhere. The Directors can be hired and are thus employees, not owners and their names are recorded. You can effectively transfer the stock certificates privately with no record of the sale appearing anywhere. The new owner can replace the directors with his own directors and even have resignation letters in his possession for the directors.



An S.A. corporation can own real estate, boats, planes, cars, art, jewelry, businesses, and other valuable assets all without revealing the actual ownership of the corporation. Additional complex strategies can be employed using the lawyer to perform certain functions for the corporation. In Panama there is strong privileged communication between the attorney and the client.



A bank anywhere in the civilized world will require a beneficial owner for any bank account and will also require identity documents for that person so the S.A. corporation may not be able to conduct banking matters anonymously. Again there are ways to work through this such as appointing your attorney to manage banking affairs for your corporation. For instance your attorney may act as your agent and collect rents on an apartment building or office building your S.A. corporation owns to keep the ownership of the property concealed from the tenants and others. The attorney merely forwards the rent proceeds to you or wires them to your bank account anywhere in the world. This is perfectly lawful in Panama. Your attorney could handle an auction where your corporation sells it's art collection. The attorney collects the auction proceeds and forwards them to your bank anywhere in the world. Your attorney can buy or sell a yacht for your S.A. corporation, handle the yacht registration in Panama and you can go sail around the world with your corporate stock certificates locked up in a vault box somewhere.



Panama S.A. corporations can be completed in five business days after all the information is submitted.
