Looking for a really good place to open an International Business Company (BC)? Opt for Nevis. This Caribbean country offers profitable taxation, reliable protection of assets and personal data, as well as flexible customization of the business structure for your needs.
At present, classical offshore companies are going through hard times and it is not that easy to open a bank account for them. However, we know where and how this can be done. That is why we propose you to open a corporate account with Capital Security Bank in the Cook Islands to accompany your BC incorporation. The procedure can be performed remotely. All activities will take about 1 month (30 days).
If you need a reliable way to protect your assets from lawsuits, be sure to pay attention to Nevis.
Why Nevis Is the Best Place for BC Establishment
Nevis is part of the Federation of Saint Kitts and Nevis and is well known for its legislation providing the highest level of protection to both owners’ personal data and their assets. The island is a jurisdiction from which you can conduct business worldwide.
At the background of the situation in the international arena that pushes many countries to actively pursue a policy of deoffshorization, Nevis takes a special place by offering exceptional privileges for BC owners and maintaining its impeccable reputation as a classic offshore company. So far, no company in Nevis has been involved in any scandal or tax evasion proceedings, which undoubtedly puts this jurisdiction in a better position than its competitors.
Equally important (and perhaps decisive) is the island’s well-developed legislation based on Common English law (case law). This allows the country’s authorities to adjust the regulatory system and enables them to quickly improve the legal framework in constantly changing conditions. A striking example of this is the fact that amendments have entered into force in Nevis since January 2019 to prevent the country from being included from the so-called black list of the European Union.

Here are just a few reasons why a BC in Nevis is the right choice:
- The company may be owned by one person, and he may also be the company’s sole director
- You can fully own the company even if you are not a resident of the country and live anywhere in the world
- Liability is limited to the shares invested by the participants
- A high degree of confidentiality and protection of personal data of the company’s owners and officials
- Definitely reliable protection of BC assets
- A fast and easy procedure of opening of the company
If you are the sole company owner and you decide to expand the circle of shareholders, the number of directors will also have to be increased to at least 3. The director’s position can be occupied by both natural persons and legal entities.
You can use nominee directors, shareholders and managers. Directors and shareholders may be residents of any country.
There are no requirements for the authorized capital. We recommend establishing a company with a share capital of $10,000 (mind that you don’t have to pay up the capital!).
