What Is A Curaçao Private Foundation?

The most versatile asset management tool

The purpose of a Curaçao Private Foundation is to manage shares, real estate, patents, copyrights, currency etc.

A Private Foundation, in Dutch a “Stichting Particulier Fonds ” is a legal entitity created by Curaçao government with the purpose of managing assets. Deeds of incorporation may be filed in any  given language, provided that the barrister posesses the necessary language skills.

That is also the most profitable

Since asset management is not considered a business activity within Curaçao legislation, realized profits are not being held taxable.

Government regulated and supervised

Your assets are fully protected by both Curaçao and Netherlands legislation. Incorporation of a Curaçao Private Foundation is done by filing a deed of incorporation. Filing these deeds of incorporation can be done only by certain government registered and supervised barristers. Previous lawsuits have proven the protection of the Private Foundation benificiary up until the Netherlands High Court.

Your privacy guaranteed

After incorporation, Curaçao Private Foundations are registered with the Curaçao Chamber of Commerce.

By means of a private deed (the by-laws of the private person incorporation) you will become the foundations’ benificiary. This private deed is not a public document and therefore guarentees your privacy. This way you benefit from the legal difference between ownership and being ‘just’ beneficiary, both from a liability and taxability perspective.
