What is an LLC?

A Limited Liability Company or LLC, is a business structure that blends the features of a corporation with those of a partnership or sole proprietorship. It consists of Managers who oversee the company's operations and Members who have ownership interests in the LLC. It is important to note that the name of an LLC must end with LLC or L.L.C.

What are the advantages of a Nevis LLC?

Nevis LLCs offer several advantages, including:

• Affordable annual renewal fees
• No minimum capital requirement
• Information about Managers and Members is not disclosed or filed with the registry, ensuring that it remains confidential and inaccessible to the general public
• Individuals and legal entities from any country can become members and managers
• There are no foreign exchange controls in place

What is the legislation for a Nevis LLC?

The legislation governing Nevis LLCs is the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance, which was introduced in 1995. This ordinance sets out the regulations for the establishment, operation, and governance of Nevis LLCs.

Do you get a registered agent and office address when forming a Nevis LLC?

Yes, our Nevis LLC packages include a registered agent and a registered office address. It is a mandatory requirement to have a registered agent and a registered office address in Nevis. However, the principal office address can be located in any country.

Additionally, we provide Nevis mail forwarding services, which includes a virtual office address that allows you to receive mail from your customers and suppliers.

Can only one person/entity be appointed as a Manager and Member?

Yes, it is possible for a single person or entity to be appointed as both the Manager and Member of the Nevis LLC. A minimum of one person must be appointed as a Manager and Member and the same individual or legal entity can hold both positions. For Members a minimum of 1% membership interest must be issued at the time of formation.

Our company also provides the option of nominee manager and member services, which can enhance privacy and confidentiality of the LLC.

Is information about the Managers and Members private?

Yes, the information regarding Managers and Members of a Nevis LLC is kept private. When filing the Articles of Organization with the registry, it does not include any details about beneficial owners, members, or managers. The only information provided in this document is the name of the Nevis registered agent and registered office address.

If you would like an additional layer of privacy, our company offers nominee services to further enhance your confidentiality.

It is worth noting that if a creditor or any other individual intends to sue a Nevis company and its owners, they are required to post a non-refundable bond of at least $100,000 to engage the services of a Nevis lawyer. This provides a measure of great protection for Nevis companies and their owners.

Are there any filing or accounting requirements?

Yes, there are annual filing requirements for a Nevis LLC.

Do you have shelf companies?

We have a range of shelf companies available for immediate purchase, which are entities without previous owners, business activities, or transactions. Acquiring a shelf company can significantly accelerate the process of launching your business.

In addition, we offer apostille services for the corporate documents related to the shelf companies. The preparation of these documents typically takes around 2 to 3 business days.

For more detailed information and pricing, please contact our office.

How long does it take to form an LLC?

The formation of a Nevis LLC takes approximately 2 to 4 business days. If additional documents are required, the preparation time extends to another 2 to 4 business days, depending on the specific services ordered.

It is important to note that Nevis has implemented the Electronic Transactions Act, which means that all incorporations are now processed electronically through the online portal called the 'Corporate Registry Integrated Search System' (CRISS). As a result, corporate documents no longer exist in printed form with original manual signatures. All documents are provided in electronic PDF format.

To verify the authenticity of your documents, you can use the following link: https://portal.crss.niagov.com/app/documentManagerVerify/certificateAuthenticity

As a result of this electronic process, we no longer send out printed company documents as they do not contain original signatures. Instead, you can print the documents yourself from the provided PDF files.
