Process
Marshall Islands Company Registration: Structured for Simplicity
We've stripped away complexity—you'll experience a logical process with regular updates, clear requirements, and zero ambiguity about progress.
01
Let us learn about you and your business
Same Day
Setting up a Marshall Islands company starts with understanding your needs in depth. Communicate your business objectives, planned activities, preferred corporate setup, and any distinctive requirements we should accommodate.
We don't rely on generic solutions. We carefully learn about the stakeholders, your timeline goals, and what a Marshall Islands entity will enable you to achieve. This ensures our support fits your reality.
This conversation is your opportunity to raise questions, remove ambiguities, and gain comprehensive insight into what's coming—including fair, transparent pricing without hidden costs. You'll emerge from this step with absolute clarity.
02
Help us perform KYC and due diligence
1-3 Days
Once your requirements crystallize, we'll list the documents needed from you and associated parties. After invoice processing, our compliance team undertakes obligatory due diligence to confirm your company satisfies Marshall Islands regulatory requirements.
Some back-and-forth is common here—requests for extra information or clarification may arise. We recognize this seems significant, but we'll guide you through each request, explaining the reasoning behind it.
The speed of this step largely reflects how rapidly you provide complete and accurate materials. Timely submissions mean faster advancement. We keep you continually informed about progress so nothing remains a mystery.
03
Paperwork, signatures, and application
2-3 Days
Once compliance approval is achieved, document creation follows. Our team produces all necessary formation paperwork customized for your needs—you don't need to grapple with complicated legal documents yourself.
When documents are finalized, we share them for your signature along with clear guidance on proper execution. We've optimized this step for ease.
Upon receipt of signed documents, we submit your application to the Marshall Islands Registrar. Your filing is tracked through approval, with updates provided throughout. Good news is imminent!
04
Good News: Happy Incorporation!
Day 4-5
Excellent news is here! The Registrar has approved your filing—your Marshall Islands company is now officially registered!
As soon as approval is confirmed, we forward digital copies of all corporate documents for immediate use. This includes your Certificate of Formation, Articles of Incorporation, and all other official paperwork.
Physical document originals will be delivered in due course. Currently, you have what's needed to progress—set up banking, formalize contracts, or commence business activities. Congratulations on achieving this key milestone!
05
Wait! There's more post incorporation
Day 5+
Your company is formed, but a few post-formation procedures ensure complete finalization. We'll provide additional documents requiring your signature to ensure your corporate file is fully complete and compliant.
These represent standard formalities that keep company records in proper order and good standing. We'll explain each document's function as we proceed.
If you've opted for supplementary services like bank account facilitation, our dedicated team will reach out to commence that work. We remain your partner beyond formation—supporting your Marshall Islands company's ongoing compliance and long-term success.
