Nevis is one of the most popular jurisdictions when privacy is the top priority.
How it works
Nevis is an independent jurisdiction governed by common law and tax-neutral. Its corporate regime favors asset protection and the confidentiality of information about directors, shareholders, and beneficial owners. Forming a company in Nevis requires, at a minimum, one director and one shareholder.
Why choose Nevis
It offers a high degree of privacy and a simple structure, with few formal requirements compared to other jurisdictions.
When it makes sense, and when to look elsewhere
Nevis is a good option when you’re looking for a simple structure with a high degree of confidentiality for family asset structures.
It’s worth considering another jurisdiction if you want to set up a company that will work with top-tier international banks. Nor is it the best choice for sophisticated estate planning or when reputational sensitivity is high; in those cases, its use is selective.
What to keep in mind
For estate planning purposes, this jurisdiction allows joint tenancy with rights of survivorship. Its international standing is moderate, and it requires annual tax reports to be filed with the Nevis authorities through its registered agent, a requirement that applies for the entire life of the company.
Incorporation
The process takes just three simple steps:
- Compliance review.
- Structuring the company around your goals.
- Incorporation of the company.
