FORMATION & OPERATIONS
See the full picture before formation.
Formation and ongoing responsibilities
Confirm documentation, due diligence, formation, company secretary, registered office, accounting and annual obligations.
Substance and operating costs
Tax treatment depends on activity and applicable substance requirements. Plan local staffing, expenditure, premises and annual costs.
Digital preparation after formation
Connect formation planning with a company website, inquiry handling and customer management.
Understand the rules. Plan for the business.
A Labuan company is formed through a trust company. Tax treatment depends on activity and applicable substance requirements; incorporation alone guarantees neither incentives nor a bank account. Review the details with BonaTrust and appropriate advisers.

Are tax incentives or bank accounts guaranteed?
No. Tax treatment depends on activity and applicable substance requirements; banks and licensing bodies make independent decisions. Japanese tax implications also require individual professional review.
How long do formation and development take?
Timing depends on documents, reviews, approvals and technical scope. We establish priorities and discuss separate formation and technology schedules.
