AnguillaCompany Incorporation With the Help of Our Experts

Everything needed to bring the company into existence and see it through its first year: name check, structure advice, due diligence, drafting and filing of the incorporation documents, the government fee, the statutory registers, digital copies of every document, and the registered agent and registered office for the first year. The Scope of Work section above lists every item; the higher packages add original certificates, apostille and further services.

Our packages start from US$1,249, which covers the government fee, our work and the first year of registered agent and office. The pricing section above shows what each package includes; from year two, renewal starts from US$1,099 a year. The figure we quote is the figure you pay.

Yes. The whole process is handled remotely: the initial conversation, the due diligence, the signing of documents and the filing. Nothing requires your presence, and no original document has to be posted to us before incorporation.

We send the documents with every signature point marked and a short note on how to sign each one. You print, sign by hand, scan and return them electronically. Where a document needs to be witnessed or notarised, we tell you in advance so nothing has to be redone.

For every director, shareholder and beneficial owner: a certified copy of a passport, a proof of address issued within the last three months, and a short description of the source of funds and professional background. Corporate shareholders provide their constitutional documents and registers. The Documents section above sets out the list and the certification rules, and an advisor checks each item with you before anything is submitted.

No. Due diligence on every person connected to the company is required by Anguilla's anti-money laundering law before anything can be filed, and it applies to every client without exception. What we can do is make it quick: one checklist, clear format guidance, and a review of each document as it arrives.

Tell us what the company is for and who is behind it, using the form below or by email. An advisor comes back with the structure we recommend, the exact document list and the full fee. If you decide to go ahead, we issue an invoice and begin the due diligence as soon as it is settled.

No. An Anguilla company pays no corporate income tax, capital gains tax or withholding tax in Anguilla, and there is no tax on the dividends it distributes. Obligations may still arise where the owners live or where the company trades.

No. The registers of directors and members are kept at the registered agent's office in Anguilla and a copy is filed with the Registrar, but neither is published on a public search; beneficial ownership information is held on a non-public register available to the authorities only.

One director and one shareholder are enough, and one person can hold both roles. There is no residency or nationality requirement, and corporate directors and shareholders are allowed.

There is no minimum share capital. Shares may be issued in any currency, with or without par value. The annual government fee is tiered by the number of shares the company is authorised to issue (up to 50,000 shares, or more), so we normally set the authorised shares at 50,000 unless you need more.

An Anguilla company can trade internationally, hold investments and property, own intellectual property and act as a holding company. Banking, insurance, trust and other financial services require a licence from the Anguilla Financial Services Commission.

The name must end in Limited, Corporation, Incorporated or an accepted abbreviation, and it cannot duplicate or closely resemble an existing name. Words suggesting a bank, insurer, trust company or government connection need approval. We check availability with the Registrar before filing.

Yes. Directors and shareholders can be anywhere in the world, and meetings can be held by any means. If the company is managed from your home country it may become tax resident there, which is worth checking with a local adviser.

No office or employees in Anguilla are required. The law requires a registered agent and a registered office, which are included in your first year. Companies carrying on a relevant activity for economic substance purposes may need more, and we assess that with you.

There is no audit requirement and no accounts are filed publicly. The company must keep accounting records sufficient to show its financial position for at least six years, and where those records are kept outside Anguilla, copies must reach the registered office twice a year.

It is the statute under which every Anguilla company is now formed, replacing the older International Business Companies Act. Companies formed under the old law were carried across, and the 2022 Act set a single compliance date for each company, the last day of its anniversary quarter.

The government fee is prescribed by regulations under the Business Companies Act and depends only on how many shares the company is authorised to issue, not on the value of its capital: US$350 a year for up to 50,000 authorised shares and US$500 above that. It is due on the last day of your anniversary quarter, together with the annual return, and is included in our renewal packages.

Every Anguilla company files an annual return with the Registrar confirming its directors, registered agent and basic particulars. It is not public and contains no financial statements. Filing late attracts a 10 per cent surcharge, rising to 50 per cent.

Economic substance applies to companies carrying on a relevant activity such as holding company business, finance and leasing, shipping, intellectual property or fund management. Every company files an annual economic substance return on its anniversary quarter date, even if only to confirm that no relevant activity is carried on.

Missing the anniversary quarter deadline brings a 10 per cent surcharge, then 50 per cent, and eventually strike-off from the register. An economic substance failure can be fined up to US$25,000 in the first year. A struck-off company cannot act legally and is expensive to restore, which is why we hold the date for you.

One email is enough. We draft the resolution, collect signatures, update the register held at the registered office and file any change the Registrar needs to see. A change of name is an application to the Registrar, who issues a certificate of change of name; the articles are treated as amended from that date. Most changes are completed in the same week.

Renewal starts from US$1,099 a year and covers the government fee, the registered agent and registered office, the annual filings, secretarial work and the statutory records. The Compliance section above shows what each renewal package includes, and the full detail is on the compliance pricing page.

Yes. A company can change its registered agent, and the Business Companies Act allows continuation out of Anguilla into another jurisdiction or into Anguilla from elsewhere. Both are filings we handle on request.
