| What is Offshore Trust? A trust is a legal concept identified almost without exception in common law countries.
A trust is an equitable obligation, binding a person (who is called a trustee) to deal with property over which he has control (which is called the trust property), for the benefit of persons (who are called the beneficiaries), of whom he may himself be one, and any one of whom may enforce the obligation. Legal ownership and direct control of the trust property must be transferred to the trustees. The trust is created by written document, the trust deed, which will express the terms on which the trustees must administer the trust property.
A trust can be utilized if someone has mental disability that impairs their ability to maintain their own finances or is simply underage. The trustee is taxable on any funds not distributed to the beneficiaries. |

Our Process & Methodology: Process and methodologies - This will involve clear roles and responsibilities, continuing involvement, skill and expectation matching. Process and methodology used by Stride have given it a strong foundation that ensures a smooth and functional offshore relationship. Project Tracking - An in-built system, which keeps you informed about your project. This involves posting of projects and assigning team members to it. Clients can view the status of the project in real time. Members involved in the project update project information regularly. Communication links – We use efficient technological tools at our disposal to keep the lines of communication as open as possible, including e-mail, fax, voice mail, teleconferencing or videoconferencing. It's essential that organizations appoint a single person to act as a go-between, a manager who has a strong command of both the project at hand and the bigger goals of both companies.
Our micro team program: In order to simplify project management and tracking we have incorporated a micro level in the system. We can give access to a skilled micro-team within our organization that will be dedicated to your sole concern. This team, while using our organizational benefits, will be constantly in direct touch with you. This will iron out the rough edges of offshore relationships like poor communication and other inadequacies. |
