Financial Solutions Group operates mainly along the coast between Mossel Bay and East London. We do, however, have supporting arrangements with like-minded organisations in the rest of South Africa , where we do not have a physical presence. Our services offered are very comprehensive yet simplistic. These include the following:

• Business broking - Sourcing of sellers and buyers
• Finance broking on all commercial transactions, e.g. business acquisition/expansion, Property development and retail/commercial property investments.
• Commercial property sales, including shopping centres, office complexes, etc.
• Offshore investments via stainless steel tank containers

On property development up to 80% finance is available and on commercial\Investment property 70%. These represent the norm and may vary depending on investor profile.

Many ex-patriots are faced with the dilemma that they are “foreign residents” but still South African citizens. This creates a foreign exchange dilemma, one we can assist with in legally repatriating funds above the allowed foreign investment allowance by virtue of an investment in stainless steel tank containers.

What are the major benefits to investing in tank containers?

• An international investment with long-term (20 years plus) annuity earnings in hard currency with regular cash distributions.
• The investment can be made in Rands and the earnings legally kept abroad in hard currency without limit - which does not effect your offshore investment allowance
• Where the Rand is used there is no need to go through the formalities of the foreign investment allowance to achieve tax clearance.
• Local tax allowances generate deductions that can be offset against the tank container income.
• A 6% to 10% Dollar return tax free for the first seven years.
• Apart from the above tax advantages, retirement and estate planning benefits can be achieved.
