Founder & Chief Executive Officer
(ABOUT US)
A specialist broker for offshore structuring.
Offshore Broker connects private clients, families and professional advisers with licensed trustees, banks, registered agents, asset managers, accountants and legal specialists across established international jurisdictions. We pair genuine, on-the-ground Cook Islands experience with an international network – and fixed, stated fees.
(OUR STORY)
A specialist network built on clarity and personal service run by people who have worked inside the institutions our clients rely on.
Offshore Broker was set up to make international structuring easier to understand and more practical to put in place. Rather than acting as a remote referral directory, we work directly with you – understanding your objectives, comparing the structures and jurisdictions that fit, and coordinating the work of establishing offshore entities with licensed providers through relationships built over years. Our team’s experience spans offshore banking, fiduciary services, corporate administration, compliance, business development and client onboarding.
Today, we act as a single point of coordination across every provider in a structure.
(OUR APPROACH)
01
Listen
We start with a confidential conversation about your assets, family, business activity, residency, timeframes and wider objectives.
02
Compare
We explain the structures, jurisdictions and provider options open to you in plain language, including the practical trade-offs and indicative costs.
03
Coordinate
Once a direction is agreed, we organise the provider introductions, due diligence, documentation, applications and onboarding – all through one point of contact.
04
Support
We stay available throughout establishment, and can coordinate banking, administration, renewals and professional introductions whenever they are needed.
(ONE CONNECTED POINT OF CONTACT)
From first conversation to completed onboarding
Complex international structures usually involve several independent providers. Offshore Broker coordinates the whole process, so your objectives, documents, applications and communications stay aligned from start to finish.
- Offshore trust application coordinated from start to finish
- First-year trustee and listed third-party formation costs included
- Trust deed and supporting documents prepared for the selected jurisdiction
- Structure established and ready to receive approved assets
(WHO WE HELP)

(WHY CLIENTS CHOOSE OFFSHORE BROKER)
Why do clients choose us?
We would like to think we are good at what we do – but our clients’ feedback says it better than we could. They work with Offshore Broker because we combine specialist offshore knowledge, established relationships and hands-on coordination to make complex structures simpler, clearer and more cost-effective. Here are a few of the reasons they choose us.
South Pacific based
Our team is based in the Cook Islands and across the South Pacific.
Established offshore network
Direct relationships with licensed trustees, banks and registered agents in more than 25 jurisdictions.
Compliance support available
Optional legal and tax advisory is available to support your home-country compliance.
Better Access, Better Outcomes Our established network and long-standing industry relationships give clients access to competitive pricing, responsive service and trusted offshore providers. Instead of approaching the market cold, we already know who to speak to, what to ask, and how to position your structure for the best possible result.
Working with you, for you Our role is to act as a trusted intermediary, coordinating the communication and engagement between you and the right offshore providers. Rather than leaving you to manage several relationships across different jurisdictions, we provide a central point of coordination — designed to make the whole experience more efficient, organised and cost-effective.
Fixed-fee pricing, no hidden costs You receive a clearly defined scope and a fixed fee before any work begins. There are no unexpected add-ons, no unnecessary intermediary layers and no unclear charges introduced along the way.
Multi-jurisdictional capability Structures can combine trusts, companies and banking relationships across the Cook Islands, Nevis, BVI, Cayman, Panama and other offshore centres. That way each component is chosen for its purpose, rather than forcing the whole arrangement into a single jurisdiction.
