Providing corporate office
Legally establishing a company abroad. Appointing local representatives. Surviving new geographical markets.
These are just some of the international structuring challenges companies must address. The most productive approach? Finding a local partner. Even better: a partner who knows the territory – one with a track record of helping clients realise their expansion plans.
This is one of Intertrust’s abilities. We guide clients in getting established in their new business environments. We handle the formalities – from company set-up to statutory filing requirements. From providing the corporate office to acting as your local representative. From handling corporate secretarial duties to maintaining your statutory registers.

Registration of sea-going vessels and yachts
It is a familiar fact to people with sea-going investments: ships need well-conceived registration to receive fiscal benefits.
But the business of ships is not merely about registration. Knowledge of how to manage a ship-owning company, for example, this is important as well. Why? Because when outsourcing, one seeks the partner with mastery of the business at hand – not just experience with one part of the process.
Registration encompasses many sub-issues: selecting a flag to register a commercial ship. Fees and taxes. Ownership requirements. Manning requirements. Safety confirmation certificates. And there are other options to consider: some ship registers allow parallel (bareboat) registration of vessels. Two forms of bareboat registration exist: ‘parallel-in’ and ‘parallel-out’, offering different opportunities for leaseback, hire, purchase and finance arrangements.All these formalities: Intertrust has the experience in managing ship-owning companies and registering vessels. From reefer vessels to dry cargo ships. From offshore support vessels to FPSOs. From container carriers to tankers. We deliver the smooth, international network to guide you.
