MenuIs it possible to acces international credit from your Offshore LLC?
Many organizations offer services to create offshore companies and open bank accounts to allocate your capital. However I wonder if its possible to access credit from those offshore accounts and be able to leverage from it. Technically an offshore account should have all the banking solutions available as a company that resides in that country. This means access to business loans and such. However I havent heard much about credit in these countries. Or are they treated as a 'second class citizen' where you can only give them money but aren't trustworthy to demand credit.

Access to credit depends on the country and the credit worthiness of the borrower. For a business account, they will want to see strong financials. The trick is to get to know the lenders that serve the country you account is located in. Then apply for loans that suit your needs. Of course there is credit on the "international" scene as well, however, expect a lot more hoops to jump through as well as challenges in getting approved.

What could be a good credibility building strategy for a new bank trying to attracts deposits?
You have asked the golden question. As a business banker, we all struggle with getting deposits. Going after key industries (escrow companies, property management, HOA's, etc) will help in this. However, there are many options to help get deposits. I'd be happy to hop on a call and talk about this. I just signed up with Clarity yesterday. So I'm still learning the platform.JK

What is the best country to start an online marketing and design business in?
I have registered over 20 companies in the last decade and from my experience I can tell you that every country serves a different purpose. I run a small gambling company that I have registered in Malta due to the legality of online gambling there. I have another company registered in Delaware, whilst my main company is registered in the Netherlands. If your business is only online I would advise you to register it in Europe or if you must in the United States in Delaware/Nevada. Credibility wise I would say that registering your company in Singapore or Malta or Costa Rica, will not benefit you much opposed to say Delaware or The Netherlands. I am available for a call if you need anymore help. I am currently doing a promotion for a one time free 15 minute phone call so just send me a message for the discount code.GS

What's the best way to raise money for a Coworking space expansion?
If you have an existing space, why not consider leveraging the current tenants for part of the money needed? Spend some money (tenants can pitch in for that instead) in a fundraising party! Invite local band, caterer (ask for discount in exchange of promotion) have some context for the event such as idea pitching, or brownbag, etc... as the main entertainment... sell tickets for that event. Might not give you all you need but will help get there. _ aim for double what you spend at a minimum! Try gofundme.com Get in the news and ask for community support. Get infront of the local development offices ans ask for grants (this is common) as it helps development. These are just some ideas. best of luckHV
