500 is revenue? What profit should you have on minimum to consider offshore?Don't take your 500,000 USD/year business offshore just to save on taxes. You probably can't save on taxes (legally) and even if you do, I'd bet the costs of doing so aren't that much different from the costs of paying tax.
Establish your residence and business in such a way that secrecy is a non-issue.
Use nominees cleverly and carefully.
Good asset protection usually doesn't rely on secrecy

CRS is for everyone who owns a foreign account, whether it's a company account or a private account. It is the person who has the power of attorney and access to the account that gets reported to the tax authorities. Otherwise, it would be far too easy to escape the authorities' reach.
Cause the UBO gets reported. And having a nominee UBO is tricky from a legal perspective and because you make it possible for whoever is your nominee UBO to take the company from you. Of course there are solutions to everything, check the mentor group. But there are good reasons people dont just do it this way.If I setup the company with nominees director and shareholder I get not reported because it is not my company in the registry. Why don't people just do that way?
