A Panamanian offshore company is typically used when the core business isn't carried out in Panama but in international markets: online businesses, investments, cross-border trade or asset-holding structures. Whether this structure is right for you depends on your type of business, where the shareholders or beneficial owners are tax residents, and the legal obligations that apply in each case. ![](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Legal_Site_2026/Elements/service-3-1%202.png?width=85&height=85&name=service-3-1%202.png) ### International operations  A Panamanian offshore company can serve as a legal vehicle to provide services, manage contracts or do business with clients and suppliers outside Panama.  ![](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Legal_Site_2026/Elements/attorney%201.png?width=85&height=85&name=attorney%201.png) ### Asset protection **[Setting up a company](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/en/attorneys-to-establish-a-company-in-panama/?hsLang=en)** separates your personal assets from your business activities and keeps your legal, corporate and document records organized. ![](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Legal_Site_2026/Elements/Frame%20134.png?width=85&height=85&name=Frame%20134.png) ### Remote incorporation  In many cases, you can start setting up your Panamanian company from abroad without traveling to the country, with legal support at every stage.  ![](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Legal_Site_2026/Elements/service-3-1%202.png?width=85&height=85&name=service-3-1%202.png) ### US dollar economy  Panama uses the US dollar as legal tender, which simplifies financial planning for international businesses and reduces currency exchange friction.  ## A Plan Tailored to Your Needs Choose the level of support your Panama offshore company needs. ### Basic $1,712.80 For those who need to incorporate an offshore company with the essential documents.

The process can be started remotely. Some additional steps, such as opening a bank account or certain document procedures, may have specific requirements.  #### Does a Panama offshore company pay taxes?  It depends on the type of business, where the income is generated, where the shareholders are tax residents, and the obligations that apply in other jurisdictions. Panama taxes only Panama-source income, but your home country may have its own reporting and tax rules (for example, US or Canadian rules on foreign-owned companies). Every case should be reviewed individually.  #### How long does it take to set up an offshore company in Panama?  It depends on the documents available, the case review and the services included. Our legal team can give you an estimated timeline before you start.  #### Can I open a bank account with an offshore company?  It can be explored, but account opening is not guaranteed. Each bank has its own due diligence (KYC) and approval process.  #### What is the difference between an offshore company and an operating company?  An offshore company is designed for international operations with no local business activity in Panama. An operating company is needed when the business will invoice clients, hire staff or provide services within Panama.  ![logo](https://legalsolutionspanama.com/hubfs/Legal_Site_2026/Logo/6c0299f6e2ecd003c08744b85129df3567e5cf56.png) Our platform makes accessing legal services easier and safer, with confidence and guarantees.
