Common questions

Nevis: questions we are often asked

Is Nevis suitable for my structure?
That depends on where you and the other owners are resident, where the business operates, where it will bank and how counterparties will view Nevis. We review those points before recommending any jurisdiction.
Can a Nevis entity open a bank account?
Often, but it depends on the activity, the owners and the bank. We consider banking before anything is formed and will tell you if we think an account is unlikely.
What substance is required?
Substance rules differ by jurisdiction and by activity. We set out what applies to your structure, and what it costs to meet, in the written recommendation.
What will it cost?
We agree our fee in writing before work begins. Formation and annual renewal fees include the standard government fees and the registered agent. Other third-party costs, such as local counsel, are set out separately in the same document.

Fees agreed in writing before work begins. Where a bank or provider pays us for an introduction, we tell you before the introduction is made.
