Incorporate in Curacao
We can assist in setting up and maintaining a Curacao private limited liability company (BV) or public limited liability company (NV).
Both structures are companies limited by shares – the main difference is that a BV is restricted to issue shares to the public, but can do so on a private basis e.g. private placement.
In Curaçao, we incorporate both private limited liability companies (BV) and public limited liability companies (NV).
Curacao Company (BV/NV) Formation and First-Year Fees – USD 4,800.00 (All Included)
Note that our incorporation and annual corporate service fees are “all-included fees”, and cover all the necessary services to incorporate a Curacao Company, and keep it in good standing, as well as government fees and duties, disbursements such as courier fees, and the notarization of documents, which are generally required for opening bank accounts.

We will act as the first subscribers of the company in order for you to not need to travel to Curacao. This procedure takes around 1 week, depending on whether you wish to review the Articles and the availability of the civil law notary.

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.
