What Staatenlos does

Staatenlos is a private consulting and information platform founded in 2015 by Christoph Heuermann, focused on the "perpetual traveler" lifestyle — helping individuals relocate internationally, minimize tax exposure through offshore structures, acquire second residencies or citizenships, and set up international companies and banking. The company serves primarily German-speaking (DACH region) consumers and SMB-level entrepreneurs, with a stated global operating footprint covering 20+ countries across EMEA, the Americas, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. Its legal entity, Steuern Sind Raub GmbH, is incorporated in Florida, USA, while its primary web presence is staatenlos.ch (Switzerland domain), with an English-language counterpart denationalize.me.

The platform delivers services through five revenue streams: (1) one-on-one consulting with the founder (€2,997) or team members (€1,497), plus messenger-based voice consulting packages (€497-997); (2) digital products including e-books, lexika encyclopedias, booklets, and video courses sold via the Digistore24 affiliate marketplace at €22-120; (3) service referral fees for offshore company formations, bank account openings, and residency services (e.g., €1,500 bundle for Georgian bank + brokerage); (4) event tickets for the annual DEXIT conference in Munich plus workations and intensives; and (5) a two-tier affiliate program paying up to 51% commission. The product portfolio spans more than 50 distinct offerings, including residency advisory for 13+ countries, citizenship programs (Vanuatu, Nauru, Argentine birth tourism, Golden Visas), company formation across USA/UK/Dubai/Cyprus/Georgia/Poland/Nevis, offshore banking in Georgia/USA/Dominican Republic/Cape Verde, investment advisory across real estate/crypto/precious metals/art, wealth-protection structures, and lifestyle services (marriage in Denmark, international birth assistance, eSIM, vehicle registration, boat consulting).

The technology foundation is conventional — a content-driven WordPress-style website on standard hosting (RAIDBOXES, Cloudflare CDN) with Digistore24 handling commerce and affiliate tracking. There is no proprietary platform, no app, and no AI components. Distribution runs through owned content (100+ blog posts, YouTube, podcast), community (Facebook Mastermind group, Global Citizen Explorer membership magazine, match-making, freedom-ranking platform), events (DEXIT, workations, family gatherings), affiliate networks, and earned media placements in major German publications and international outlets. The team is micro-sized (1-10), making the business heavily dependent on the founder's personal brand, expertise, and delivery capacity.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Henley & Partners: Largest established global residence- and citizenship-by-investment advisory firm. Operates across the same citizenship/residency advisory space but at significantly larger scale with formal institutional processes.
• Harvey Law Group: International immigration and business law firm serving cross-border clients on residency, citizenship, and corporate structuring. Broader legal-services incumbent with overlapping practice areas.

Direct peers

• Nomad Capitalist: Founded by Andrew Henderson, Nomad Capitalist is the most direct competitor: an advisory firm specializing in offshore tax optimization, second citizenship, and international company formation for entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals. Operates the same personal-brand-led, premium-consulting-plus-content model targeting perpetual travelers.
• La Vida Golden Visas: Specialist Golden Visa advisory firm offering residency and citizenship programs across multiple jurisdictions. Comparable to the Golden Visa and citizenship advisory components of Staatenlos' service portfolio.
• Global Citizen Solutions: Advisory firm focused on residency and citizenship by investment for entrepreneurs and families. Direct overlap with the citizenship/residency consulting offerings and similar European-targeting GTM.
• Best Citizenships: Citizenship-by-investment and residency advisory platform directly comparable to the citizenship/residency arm of Staatenlos. Targets the same citizenship-seeker segment with similar Golden Visa and CBI offerings.
• Sovereign Man: Founded by Simon Black, Sovereign Man is a closely comparable advisory platform covering second passports, offshore banking, international diversification, and flag theory. Uses the same personal-brand, content-plus-paid-consulting GTM motion.

Emerging players

• Flag Theory: Information and advisory platform specifically built around the 'flag theory' concept of multi-jurisdictional diversification—directly aligned with Staatenlos' core philosophy. Smaller, content-led operation.
• International Living: Long-running information platform and publication covering international relocation, retirement abroad, and global living. Content-led business with overlap in audience (DACH/global perpetual traveler) but less specialized in tax optimization.
• Nomad Gate: Digital-nomad-focused advisory covering international tax, residency, and company setup. Emerging player with partial overlap targeting a similar persona segment.
