Hi,
Could you explain to me what is the "purpose" of this legit chemichal company first, is it sales? manufacturing? development? re-seller? as this is one of the questions that will be audited?
I am sorry, but there are just to many errors in your plan, that an audit and law enforcement will catch you immediately.
First of all, you may or may not know when you will be autied it can be scheduled but also at random, so you can and cannot be prepared for it.
Secondly, if this is the company you want to use as your "shell" company, then you want to start out with buying small quantities of precursors that "fits" the lab equipment you are buying.
Thirdly, you don't want to use your company for any illicit activity atleast in the first 2-4 years of operation, new companies are being audited by customs when importing / exporting anything between country lines.
Fourthly, reason for having a legit business for 2-4 years first is because of, first of all legitimacy when audited and revenue.
Fifth, you don't use your company to be the "main" illicit precursors user. What you should do is, open a shell company in another persons name, buy the precursors trough your main company and sell it to yourself using your shell company. In that way when you are being audited you won't be held responsible.
I can just keep going here, but I would hope you have already thought of these scenarios?
Best Regards,
If you are interested in sharing ideas we can keep this discussion in PM, I would be more than glad to help since I know these things quite well.
