Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to your questions about Nevis beneficial ownership registers
Under Nevis law, a beneficial owner is any individual (not company or trust) who ultimately owns or controls 25% or more of the entity's shares, voting rights, or economic interests, or who exercises control through other arrangements. If ownership is held through corporate structures, the register must identify the natural persons at the end of the ownership chain.
No, beneficial ownership information is strictly confidential in Nevis. The register is maintained by the Registered Agent and is not filed with any public registry. Access is limited to company principals, authorized representatives, and competent authorities under specific legal circumstances. This confidentiality is a key feature of Nevis corporate law.
Your company's Registered Agent in Nevis holds and maintains the Register of Beneficial Owners. The Registered Agent is responsible for ensuring the register remains accurate and current, reflecting any changes in beneficial ownership. The register is not submitted to government registries and remains a private record.
Each entry includes the beneficial owner's complete name, date of birth, nationality or nationalities, current residential address, a description of the nature of their beneficial interest, the percentage or extent of their ownership or control, and dates when they became or ceased to be a beneficial owner. This creates a comprehensive ownership profile.
Common situations include opening corporate bank accounts, fulfilling due diligence requirements for business transactions, responding to requests from financial institutions or professional service providers, regulatory compliance matters, or when authorities request beneficial ownership information. Many banks require this documentation for account establishment.
Legal ownership records show who holds shares on paper, which may include nominees, trusts, or other companies. The beneficial ownership register looks behind these legal structures to identify the actual individuals who ultimately benefit from or control the entity. While a shareholder list might show a holding company, the beneficial ownership register identifies the people controlling that holding company.
