Incorporate in Nevis
Set up a company in Nevis
Nevis is one of the strongest structures – from an asset protection standpoint – to hold personal assets or run a business that is fraught with liability.
To bring an action against a business incorporated in Nevis, the creditor would need to hire a local lawyer licensed in Nevis and post a cash bond with the court. In addition, attorneys in Nevis are prohibited from working on contingency. The creditor must pay for all legal services up front and in full.

In the Island of Nevis, the two most common corporate structures are the Business Corporation (IBC), incorporated under the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance (NBCO), and the Limited Liability Company (LLC), registered under the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance (NLLCO).

All our bank account options provide for accounts in major currencies (USD, EUR, GBP, CHF, etc) as well as internet banking facilities. Note that “Remotely/In-person” means whether the account can be opened remotely or a personal visit to the bank is required to finalize the application.
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.
