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.

Our bank account opening service is not just a mere introduction to the bank. We assist you in filling out the business plan forms appropriately and help you understand and provide business details, commercial information, and purpose/use of the bank account that a given bank wants to know in order to approve your account application.

Banks want certainty and clarity on how the account will be used. Everything must be watertight. We will work with you to make sure there is minimal ‘back and forth’ and a smooth account opening process.
