Your Nevis incorporation partner

Nevis (in the Federation of St Kitts and Nevis) offers two flagship vehicles: the Nevis LLC under the NLLC Ordinance and the Business Corporation under the NBCO. Both are quick to form, private, and shielded by creditor-unfriendly litigation rules — foreign judgments are not automatically recognised and claimants must post bond to sue.

Asset protection

Charging-order-only remedy and creditor bonds.

No local tax

Foreign-sourced income of offshore entities not taxed locally.

1–3 day formation

Fast, agent-driven registration.

Privacy

No public register of members or beneficial owners.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Nevis known for asset protection?

Creditors generally cannot enforce foreign judgments directly — they must sue in Nevis courts, post a bond, and against LLC members the exclusive remedy is a charging order.

Does a Nevis company pay tax?

Nevis entities doing no local business are not taxed locally on foreign-sourced income; owners remain responsible for home-country taxes.

LLC or Business Corporation?

LLCs dominate for asset protection and flexibility; corporations suit share-based structures. We advise per goal.

How private is ownership?

Members, managers and beneficial owners do not appear on a public register; the registered agent holds KYC confidentially.

How fast is formation?

Usually 1–3 working days after due diligence.
