Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about Nevis company formation costs and package options
Enterprise provides specialized capabilities beyond standard formation: complex corporate structuring for multi-tier holdings or special purpose vehicles, nominee director and shareholder services (or nominee manager and member services for LLCs) for enhanced privacy, customized Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws (or Operating Agreement for LLCs) to accommodate specific governance requirements, expedited priority processing for urgent timelines, multi-jurisdictional coordination when forming entities across several countries, and ongoing ad-hoc advisory support. Pricing is determined based on your particular requirements following an initial consultation.
For straightforward formations where you won't immediately need authenticated documents—perhaps a holding structure with no immediate banking requirement—the Basic package provides everything necessary under Nevis law. If you anticipate needing certified documents for bank account applications, fund subscriptions, or dealings with counterparties who request proof of good standing, the Premium package delivers these essentials upfront at a bundled rate. Assessing your Nevis company setup cost against your operational plans ensures you select the right tier from the outset.
Beyond the core formation services, Premium includes documents that financial institutions and business partners routinely request: Certificate of Incumbency confirming your directors and shareholders (or managers and members for LLCs), Certificate of Good Standing from the Nevis Registrar, and apostille authentication valid across Hague Convention countries—St. Kitts and Nevis has been a member since 1994. Ordering these separately after formation typically costs more and adds processing delays. The Premium bundle consolidates everything into one streamlined process with priority 2-day turnaround, representing a US$500 saving over à la carte pricing.
Our Nevis incorporation pricing is fully transparent with no hidden extras. The quoted amount encompasses government registration fees, document preparation, and all services listed for your selected package. We don't add administrative surcharges or unexpected costs after you've committed. This straightforward approach to Nevis company formation fees means you can budget with confidence, knowing the price you see is the price you pay.
Upgrades and add-on services can be arranged at any stage—just reach out to our team. Downgrades, however, aren't feasible once work has commenced, as certain fees and professional commitments become non-reversible early in the process. When weighing your Nevis company registration cost, it's advisable to consider which documents and services you'll likely need and choose accordingly from the start.
Bank transfer is our preferred method for settling your Nevis company formation cost, offering a straightforward settlement process. We also accept major credit and debit cards for added flexibility. Cryptocurrency payments are not currently supported. Upon confirming your order, you'll receive an invoice with complete payment instructions and bank details.
Our pricing is structured to be competitive from the outset, reflecting the true cost of quality Nevis company formation in 2025 without inflated list prices or promotional gimmicks. Rather than offering sporadic discounts, we maintain consistent, fair rates that represent genuine value. This approach ensures every client receives the same transparent pricing—no negotiations required, no concern about overpaying.
