Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Cayman Islands compliance costs, annual fees, and what our package covers

The package price covers all core compliance services — government fee remittance, registered agent and office, annual return, ESN filing, beneficial ownership register maintenance, and ongoing compliance management. The only item priced separately is the Economic Substance Return (ESR) at US$499 per filing, which applies only if your entity conducts one or more relevant activities under the ES Act.
Bank transfer is our preferred payment method for a seamless experience. We also accept debit and credit cards. Cryptocurrency is not currently supported. After onboarding, you'll receive a detailed invoice with step-by-step payment instructions.
The annual government fee is due by 15 January each year. The Economic Substance Notification (ESN) must be filed by 31 January, and the annual return must be submitted to the General Registry by 31 March — noting that the annual return cannot be filed until the ESN is complete. Our package includes a compliance calendar with advance reminders for every deadline so nothing is missed.
