I'm starting an offshore company and currently contemplating if it's a good idea to incorporate the business under my own name or use a decoy. I want to a sell wallets from China and sell them to European customers. However, it's illegal to sell these products in Europe due to patent.
The problem I'm facing:
- business activity legal in country of incorporation
- considered 'illegal' in EU countries we do business with
- country of incorporation has private register, so UBO does not appear in public register
- no bank needed; CRS avoidance
- data leakage from private register could mean prosecution for tax avoidance and patent infringement charges.
So the question is: real ID or docs?
The downside of real ID is prosecution in case of data leakage.
The downside of docs is termination of business if someone ever finds out due to post-verification process and possible risk of losing funds.
Any advice?
