FAQ
Marshall Islands Maintenance Costs: What Owners Ask
What the yearly package covers, when it starts and how the renewal works.
Every Marshall Islands IBC has the same core set of annual obligations — government renewal, registered agent, economic substance reporting, company secretary, and beneficial ownership record-keeping. Rather than splitting these into confusing tiers, we bundle everything into one straightforward package so nothing falls through the cracks.
For newly formed IBCs, first-year compliance is part of your incorporation package — you won't see a separate charge until year two. If you're transferring an existing Marshall Islands IBC to Expanship, the compliance package kicks in as soon as the transfer is finalized.
No. The price you see covers all standard annual compliance obligations for your Marshall Islands IBC, including the government franchise fee. We don't tack on administrative charges or processing surcharges. If your company's structure involves non-standard requirements — such as elevated authorized share capital — we'll flag that upfront before you commit.
Bank transfer is the simplest way to pay. We also accept debit and credit cards. Cryptocurrency is not supported at this time. Once you're ready, we'll send over an invoice with step-by-step payment instructions.
Unlike some jurisdictions with fixed calendar deadlines, the Marshall Islands renewal fee falls on your IBC's incorporation anniversary each year. If the fee goes unpaid for a full year, the Registrar issues a notice through the registered agent giving 90 days to settle — after which the company faces dissolution. Our compliance package tracks your specific anniversary date and sends reminders well in advance.
Yes. The annual franchise fee payable to the Marshall Islands Registrar of Corporations is built into the package price. You won't need to make a separate payment to the government. It is paid alongside your registered agent services, ESR filing and every other compliance requirement.
The annual government fee, which is set by the Marshall Islands authorities, not by us, and passed on at cost, plus our own work: preparing and coordinating your filings, keeping your registered agent and registered office in place, and handling your company's annual compliance on your behalf.
