Incorporate in Marshall Islands
Set up a Marshall Islands Company
A Marshall Islands Non-resident domestic company is a very flexible and tax-free vehicle, with just a few restrictions on the business that the company can carry out. It can engage any legal business activity, except gaming and financial services such as banking, insurance, and trust.
Non-resident domestic companies are also restricted from doing business with Marshall Islands residents or companies but may maintain professional contact with solicitors, barristers, accountants, bookkeepers, trust companies, management or secretarial companies, investment advisors, or other similar persons or entities carrying on business within the Marshall Islands.
Marshall Islands’ offshore companies are usually used as holding structures for owning movable and immovable assets and to conduct certain financial services.

In the Marshall Islands, the two most common offshore structures are the Nonresident Corporation, incorporated under the Business Corporations Act (Associations Law), and the Limited Liability Company, registered under the Limited Liability Company Act (Associations Law).

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.
