Generally, however, the beneficial owner(s) will appoint resident officers and directors for the IBC. Typically an IBC is authorized to do business anywhere in the world except in its home country where it was incorporated (i.e. an IBC formed in The Bahamas may do business anywhere in the world except The Bahamas). The IBC may purchase real estate, cars, businesses, etc. The beneficial owner may act as an agent of the IBC to purchase assets on its behalf. By this means, assets are held under a corporate name, thereby helping to protect the beneficial owner's privacy. It has been reported that there are over one million IBCs formed in offshore jurisdictions worldwide.
