Due diligence

Verify us before we speak.

You are about to have a conversation about moving part of your financial base into another country. You should be sceptical. This space is full of people with a rented supercar and no substance.

So here is everything, with the official source next to it. Check what you want, in any order.

Nothing on this page is a claim from us. Every line below links to a source you can open yourself.

01

Who are we?

GWS Global Wealth Strategists helps established, non-US entrepreneurs get real access to the US financial system. Structure, US business banking, and the operational work that keeps it running.

The brand is new. So is its own US entity, GWS Global Wealth Strategists Inc., a Delaware corporation based in Miami. The team behind it is not new: the people, the licences, the network and the track record come from Globale Finanzstrategen, a brand of Weissschnur Smart Concepts LLC, operating from the same office. Same team, same process, now serving founders internationally in English.

We are not a coaching company and not an information product. This is an operational service with people who do the work.

02

Are we a real, registered company?

Yes, and the record worth checking is the operating company. GWS Global Wealth Strategists is a brand. The company that operates it is Weissschnur Smart Concepts LLC, a Florida company with its own federal tax ID and a physical Miami office, and it is the same company behind the Globale Finanzstrategen brand. That is the registry entry with the history behind it, so start there.

There is also a Delaware corporation carrying the brand name, GWS Global Wealth Strategists Inc., incorporated through Harvard Business Services in July 2026. It is a connected company, set up when the English-language brand launched. We list it below for completeness, but a registration that young proves nothing about track record, and we would not ask you to treat it as proof.

We also run our own accounting and tax work in house, including IRS-enrolled agents. Most operators in this space forward your paperwork to a third party. We do not.

Is the office real, or a virtual address?

It is real. Brickell City Tower sits in the Miami financial district, and we have our own team in the building. Our name is on the directory downstairs.

This matters more than it sounds. When you come to Miami to open your accounts, you are not meeting someone in a hotel lobby. You are collecting documents at our office, and someone from our team walks the week with you.

Who is Sebastian Weißschnur?

He is the strategist behind the economic and geopolitical framework GWS works with, and deliberately not the face of our advertising. His role is analytical: how political intervention, jurisdictional risk, capital mobility and cross-border structures actually affect entrepreneurs, investors and internationally mobile families.

In 2021, Palgrave Macmillan, an imprint of Springer Nature, published his 436-page academic work The Proportionality of State Intervention: EU Responses to the Global Economic Crisis, 2008–2020.

Drawing on original data, survey evidence and case studies, it examines how European governments and EU institutions responded to the financial crisis, the sovereign-debt crisis and the economic consequences of Covid-19. It assesses when state intervention is proportionate, when it becomes excessive, and which frameworks let member states respond more effectively.

Why that matters for your decision

Cross-border wealth and business decisions are never made in a political vacuum. Tax policy, regulation, monetary stability, capital mobility and government intervention decide whether a jurisdiction is genuinely resilient or merely attractive on paper. Most providers sell you a structure. We start one question earlier: will the jurisdiction behind that structure still hold in ten years?

Verify it yourself

You do not have to take our word for any of it. Check the record, then decide whether a conversation with GWS is worth your time.

05

Where has this been covered?

In tier-one German financial media. These are not advertorials we wrote about ourselves, they are articles where journalists asked for an expert view on international structure, relocation and diversification.

06

What do clients actually say?

Read the reviews on an independent platform we do not control, not just the testimonials we chose to publish. Read the critical ones too. That is usually where you learn the most about a company.

07

Have you actually done this before?

More than a thousand clients have been taken into the US financial system through this team. Real entities, real bank accounts opened in person, real ongoing filing and bookkeeping behind them.

That experience is the reason we care so much about the order of the steps. Almost everyone who comes to us after trying alone made the same mistake: right idea, wrong sequence, rejected, and six months gone.

08

What we do not do

This matters as much as everything above, so we will be blunt about it.

We do not help anyone hide assets, conceal ownership, or avoid legitimate tax obligations. Everything we build is declared, reported and transparent. If that is what you were hoping for, we are the wrong firm and we will end the conversation early.

What we do build is a second financial base in a jurisdiction that welcomes foreign capital, so that your banking, your liquidity and your protection are not concentrated in a single country. Clean structure is not the compromise. It is the entire point, and it is what actually protects you.
