Jurisdictions not only have some aspects of tax benefits, they are also good places to attract investors because of factors such as stable politics, good reputation and sophisticated corporate law.  Company laws designed to maximize offshore company benefits provide for flexibility in terms of the structure of the company and its capital, meeting locations, requirements to hold annual meetings, number and location of directors and shareholders and much more.  Offshore companies typically provide flexibility in terms of the structuring of the capital of the company.  This often includes no minimum paid up capital or very low minimum paid up capital requirements.
