FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Common queries about Cayman Islands company formation costs and package options

Our Basic package (from $2,749 for Exempted Company, $2,999 for LLC) covers the fundamentals for establishing a Cayman Islands company: all government fees, document preparation, first-year registered agent and office, statutory registers, global courier delivery of your corporate kit, and Airwallex account setup assistance. The Premium package (from $3,999 for Exempted Company, $4,249 for LLC) builds on this with express 24-hour processing, plus a company seal, physical original certificate, Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and full notarization with apostille on your corporate documents. Enterprise is tailored for clients with sophisticated needs—complex structuring, nominee services, customized constitutional documents, and multi-jurisdictional coordination.

Enterprise provides specialized capabilities beyond standard formation: complex corporate structuring for multi-tier holdings or SPVs, nominee director and shareholder services for enhanced privacy, customized Memorandum and Articles (or LLC Agreement) 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 Cayman 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 Cayman 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 verifiable at verify.ky, and apostille authentication valid across Hague Convention countries. Ordering these separately after formation typically costs more and adds processing delays. The Premium bundle consolidates everything into one streamlined process with priority turnaround, representing a US$500 saving over à la carte pricing.

Our Cayman Islands 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 Cayman 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 Cayman Islands 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 Cayman 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 Cayman Islands 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.
