There is a number of business activities which are best suited to be operated through an international entity, thus taking advantage of the opportunities offered. Some typical examples are outlined below (but the list could be endless):

Royalty companies
Real estate companies
Shipping and ship management companies

The choice of a suitable jurisdiction for offshore company incorporation is an important decision and requires careful considerations. The most important aspects to be examined may be outlined as follows:

Political and economic stability of the jurisdiction
The availability of a modern and flexible legislative framework
Simple incorporation and filing requirements
The availability of Double Taxation Treaties - this is very important in order to minimize withholding taxes on the payment of dividends and royalties from contracting states
The availability of good standard of professional advisors
A good banking system
Good telecommunications
Reputation (some "tax havens" are viewed with suspicion).
