As terms, the words offshore business and offshore company have no precise legal, tax or general business meaning,
as the word offshore often means nothing more than anywhere other than the place of physical location of the person
using the word (i.e. overseas). We use the words offshore business and offshore company as terms of definition in
connection with matters such as the structuring of international business and family wealth management or tax
planning.
