Welcome to the ORCA Offshore Innovations website. Since 1982 ORCA Offshore have been one of the leading specialists in the creation of discreet offshore structures. In spite of the attacks by some governments on tax havens, privacy and offshore banking in general there are still plenty of routes to minimise taxes and enhance confidentiality. In addition to company formations, assistance with banking arrangements and credit card processing ORCA are also experienced in arranging secure state of the art e-commerce, communications, web design and offshore hosting facilities in all leading offshore jurisdictions.

Whilst we provide a vast range offshore products and services which exceed the space available on this front page the following summary will give you an insight into what we offer and the benefits these services provide:

• Tax Savings
• Privacy Protection
• Protection against litigation
• Increased operating flexibility
• Expansion into overseas markets
• Innovative communications solutions
• Confidentiality of profit and loss accounts
• Expatriation and Relocation to another country
• Minimization of Bureaucratic hassle and interference
• The option to move offshore and escape the grind!
• Offshore hosting and domain registrations see ORCA Domains
• Secure encrypted E-mail which does not reveal your IP address
• Freedom from administrative duties, e.g. unnecessary bookkeeping and filing of returns
• The ability to create the impression of running a significantly larger and more internationally orientated company than you actually do

Our primary objective is to assist you with the creation of an offshore structure that will meet your day to day business needs without proving either excessively costly to operate or requiring so many separate component parts that the routine operation becomes a full time job in its own right.

One area in which ORCA has a significant advantage over our competitors is that none of our staff - other than our founder who spends part of the year in his native Australia - reside in their country of origin.  Our founder Douglas Parker is still closely involved with the business, in fact ORCA originally stood for Offshore Resources Centre Australia but was shortened to ORCA and Offshore Innovations when the company underwent significant expansion in 1995.

Because all of the people working with ORCA spend the majority of their time outside their country of origin they tend to know from personal experience which arrangements will prove effective, more importantly they know where to source the latest facilities and services, by evaluating these items personally on a day to day basis we can make impartial judgements as to the merits which they offer. Every year new cutting edge communications, financial and corporate facilities emerge which are very useful both to expatriates and those running an offshore business structure, the hard part is knowing which products and services are worth using and which should be disregarded. With ORCA you can be sure that anything which we recommend will have been evaluated by us personally. If it works well for us we usually find it works equally well for our clients too.

While most problems relating to offshore structures have straightforward solutions there is one double edged sword which can lead to major hassles. What I am referring to here is the internet, whilst it is excellent in many ways it is also a potential minefield simply because there's so much junk and misinformation floating around that if you start researching any aspect of going offshore ranging from expatriation to setting up banking facilities or a corporate structure you are certain to come up with a variety of contradictory answers, some of these will be correct and others with the potential to cause all sorts of problems especialy when different providers who do not have the whole picture provide components which will not work with those provided by others. The main consideration with any type of business structure offshore or otherwise is that it is generally assembled piece by piece from the ground up, there are always going to be several ways to achieve a succesfull outcome but the crucial consideration lies in making certain that all the ingredients work together in a cohesive manner.

Here at ORCA we are well aware it can be a major headache trying to sort the wheat from the chaff and we will always outline everything from the outset so you will not have to suffer any unexpected expense or unpleasant surprises later on. We have a page at Setting Up An Offshore Structure which gives a summary of crucial do's and don'ts relating to sourcing an offshore service provider. We consider our primary objective lies in providing clients with straightforward advice by setting out the various options, once everything is clear we can both weigh up the merits of each alternative and set out a timeframe and budget to ensure the plan comes to fruition.
