There is a wide range of offshore employee benefit incentives schemes designed to help businesses recruit and retain personnel. At Hawksford International we work with a variety of businesses from large corporates to small owner-managed companies to design and administer suitable structures for our clients' needs.
Normally, the structure will be a variation of a discretionary trust tailored to fulfill the function of a traditional employee share ownership plan, deferred compensation plan or pension plan. However, there are some more exotic uses for the trust model such as long-term cash bonus schemes, phantom schemes, share matching plans, qualifying recognized overseas pension schemes and employer financed retirement benefit schemes.
For employees working away from their main base, an offshore employment company is a useful way of mitigating their personal taxation and building goodwill.
Our expertise is in creating the appropriate structure whether it is for long-term retirement planning, succession planning or to provide employees at different levels of the hierarchy with suitable incentives.
To ensure we provide the most compelling structures for each client, Hawksford International works closely with a client's own lawyers, accountants, IFAs, tax and other specialist advisors. Our strong legal heritage creates a firm foundation for our services and to this we add our knowledge of managing trusts and companies to build comprehensive and robust solutions.
