IS YOUR MONEY SELF EMPLOYED?

Author by Frank Settineri

You may have heard the famous quote by J. Paul Getty about not getting rich until you are self employed. Did you know that he also said

"No one can possibly achieve any real and lasting success in business by BEING A CONFORMIST."

The same is true for your money. Unless it's working for you, it's working for someone else. Tired of the roller coaster stockmarket or standing in the IPO line hoping that they don't "sell out" before you get there (but knowing they will)?

Let's look at a better option.

* LET'S MAKE YOUR MONEY WORK HARDER FOR YOU *

The Internet is changing business in many ways. Global markets have opened. It's now as easy to sell to someone in Hong Kong as it is in your hometown. Why should banking be different? Now is the time to take advantage of GLOBAL BANKING.

Offshore banking can be a mystery to most. But it need not be. The more you know the more you will want to know. Let's cover the basics about offshore and then get into some VERY important questions to ask.

THE BASICS

Offshore banking isn't a mystery, it's SMART and SAFE. Offshore is legal, moral, ethical and honest; offering huge tax benefits that ANYONE can enjoy. It is private and available to you right now. Since it is YOUR money, you always have access to it. Now on to the finer points. If any of the following questions are answered with a no, look elsewhere.

IS THE COMPANY AROUND FOR THE LONG TERM?

If they have an exit strategy in 4 or 5 years, watch out. They may be more interested in their money than yours.

IS THE OFFSHORE BANK IN A STABLE COUNTRY

About the last thing you want to do is send your money and then see someone send in the troops. Make sure the country is stable and friendly.

CAN YOU INVEST IN THE OFFSHORE BANK

If they don't want you to be part of them then you should seriously consider not letting them be a part of your life either.

CAN YOU USE A CREDIT CARD FROM THEIR BANK?

There should be a mechanism in place for you to access your funds at most ATMs or pay with a credit card.

DO YOU HAVE 24/7 ACCESS VIA THE NET?

If they are not open when you are, look elsewhere.

CAN YOU CALL THEM AND WILL THEY UNDERSTAND?

Just like your bank now, you should expect that you can call them on the phone and that they will speak English.

The questions above touch on the major points to consider before opening an offshore account. Remember, offshore accounts are easy to open and easy to access plus they are safe and offer huge benefits to you. And they are for ANYONE, not just the super rich. Ask the right questions. Be comfortable. And once you are, put your money to work ....... for YOU.
