Why Choose Nevis for Company Formation?
Nevis, part of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis, is one of the world's leading jurisdictions for legitimate asset protection. It pairs deliberately owner-favourable statutes with a tax-neutral regime for offshore entities:
Strong Asset Protection. Nevis offers some of the most robust asset-protection statutes in the world, designed to make claims against members and shareholders difficult to pursue
Charging Order as Sole Remedy. For a Nevis LLC, a charging order is generally the only remedy available to a member’s personal creditor, with no foreclosure and no management or voting rights
Creditor Bond Requirement. A foreign creditor must typically post a substantial bond with the court before bringing certain claims, which deters speculative litigation
High Evidentiary Bar. Fraudulent-transfer claims face a short statute of limitations and a demanding standard of proof, raising the bar for foreign creditors
No Tax on Foreign Income. Non-resident Nevis entities that do not carry on business in Nevis are not subject to local tax on income earned outside Nevis
Strong Privacy. No public register of members, shareholders, or beneficial owners; ownership records are held privately by the registered agent
No Minimum Capital. There is no statutory minimum capital requirement to form a Nevis LLC or Business Corporation
Fast Formation. Entities are typically formed within 1-2 business days, with a single owner of any nationality permitted
