New Zealand LLC
New Zealand Limited liability Company (LLC) has proved to be the most popular and successful form of business structure. Companies help foster confidence in businesses by governing the relationships between investors (shareholders), directors and creditors and by giving stakeholders a clearer picture of who and what they are dealing with. As for international business activities and utilization by non New Zealand residents, this company is limited in use to corporate trustee services or holding of assets such as intellectual property and so. That is because a New Zealand company usually has to pay tax on its worldwide income. So if income is made, then tax registration is required and filings of tax need to occur. This structure has limited use but is relatively cheap.
