Note

1.       For Ordinary companies nominee Directors and Officers ($900)  is an optional service.  If we do not provide it, then the Registered Agent fee is increased to $350.  Incorporation will then cost $1,450 and annual charges will be $650.

2.       For Limited Liability companies (LLCs) similar to those offered in many domestic and offshore jurisdictions as an alternative for those clients wishing to operate along the lines of a partnership instead incorporation costs are $1,500.  If you wish us to provide any nominees (such as officers) the charge is $300 annually per nominee which is payable in advance.  Without nominee services the annual costs will be $650, the same as an Ordinary company

3.    If you have either more than one company or a normal trust or foundation with a company for which we are providing nominee services, then our company fees for formation and annual representation as directors and/or officers will be discounted by 25%.

NOTES

·        Where we manage a company we can prepare a simple fiduciary deed for $450, with no annual or distribution fees, enabling a deceased client’s shares to be transferred to his heirs.

·        A fee of $250 will be payable when a company under management is liquidated, transferred or abandoned and $500 if it is to be dissolved.  Should a company be removed from the Register and then need to be restored, a minimum fee of $300, exclusive of disbursements, will be charged.

·       We charge $500 all-inclusive for any changes required to be recorded at the Public Registry.

·        Cash distributions are subject to a $25 charge per transaction.

·        In those cases where we are asked to provide consulting services, our fee is $250 per hour or part thereof.

 

GENERAL SERVICES

·        Out-of-pocket expenses will be additional to any annual fee and where special duties or complex activities are undertaken, agreed extra fees may be payable commensurate with the degree of work and responsibility involved.  We charge a minimum $350 fee, excluding disbursements, for opening each bank and any other type of investment account unless the work involved is beyond normal processing in which case the fee will be increased.  The fee is for processing the paperwork only and Trust Services, S.A. cannot guarantee that any account applied for will be opened.  If credit or debit cards are required there is an additional fee of $75 for each one.  Credit or debit cards issued in Panama can be used at ATM machines anywhere in the world where the Plus sign appears.  In order to obtain a credit card, a savings account must be opened and a deposit equivalent up to 150% of the credit card limit made.  Where clients choose to be the authorised signatories on banking or other accounts, they must deal directly with the institutions concerning all matters once an account is opened.

·         A transaction fee of 0.375% is charged in respect of all inward funds received into accounts controlled under our signature.  A reducing fee scale is applied above $1 million and details are available upon request.  The minimum fee is $25.  There is no fee charged by us for outward fund transfers.

·         A fee of 0.25% is charged in respect of all stock market transactions executed by us.  The minimum fee is $50

·         Where we assist in immovable property transactions on behalf of clients, we charge a fee of 0.875% of the value of the purchase or sale amounts for attending to the paperwork, subject to a minimum fee of $300 and a maximum fee of $1,500.

·         Mail retention and post box facilities are available.  The minimum annual fee is $50, or $110 for both facilities, and is based on volume.

·         If a client wishes to have us retain any personal items in safe custody there is a minimum annual fee of $150.

·         Fees for fiduciary services are on a separate schedule and any undisclosed fees for our other services will be provided on request.
