Has anybody ever considered putting their options or SAFEs into an offshore LLC or the like? Considering Singapore, Caymens, Switzerland, or St. Lucia. Each has +/- points but wondering if I'm missing killer pitfalls. Lawyer here moonlighting for startups for equity.
I'm intrigued, what are the benefits? Would this apply to ISOs?
You'd avoid cap gains when you sold until the offshore LLC actually paid you depending on how the money flowed (aka, where does it go to?). Also could move the money coming out into an offshore trust for purposes of maintaining a capital asset owned by the LLC that itself could create income. Lots of options really especially if you don't need the $ in the USA to enjoy it.
Are you planning on leaving the US?
Working offshore for the next couple years.
