Establishing a company in Nevis
Nevis, part of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, has become a prominent jurisdiction for offshore company formation due to its robust legal framework, confidentiality, and favorable tax treatment. Business entities in Nevis are primarily formed under two statutes: the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance (NBCO) for corporations (Nevis BCs) and the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance for LLCs.
Nevis BCs are structured as traditional shareholding corporations and require only one director and one shareholder with no restrictions on nationality or residency. Their operations are governed by a board of directors with statutory fiduciary duties, while LLCs offer a more flexible, contract-based governance model defined by the LLC Agreement. LLCs can be member- or manager-managed, allowing members to tailor internal arrangements and economic rights.
Both BCs and LLCs benefit from strong confidentiality protections—ownership and management details are not publicly filed, and there is no public register. They also share asset protection features, with LLCs offering enhanced creditor protection through exclusive charging order remedies, even for single-member companies.
From a tax standpoint, Nevis employs a territorial system: entities are only taxed at a 33% corporate rate if they are managed and controlled from Nevis or have a permanent establishment there. Otherwise, they incur no local tax, although all must submit annual administrative tax filings. Compliance requirements are minimal—no audit mandates or financial statement submissions are required, and annual renewal fees maintain good standing. This streamlined regulatory environment, combined with legal certainty and structural adaptability, makes Nevis BCs and LLCs appealing vehicles for international business, estate planning, asset protection, and investment structuring.

Time to form
The process of incorporating a company in Nevis is efficient, with the Registrar typically completing filings within a week. Initially, the company name is reserved and key legal documents—such as articles of organization (for LLCs) or articles of incorporation (for IBCs), along with necessary application documents —are prepared within a day. These documents are then submitted to the Nevis Registrar, who usually finalizes the registration and issues the certificate of formation (LLC) or certificate incorporation (BC) within 3 to 5 days. Simultaneously, supporting documentation including ownership / share certificates, registers, operating agreement / bylaws, and resolutions are drafted to complete the incorporation package.
