Samoa Company Renewal Costs: What Owners Ask
What the yearly package covers, when the licence fee falls due and how to pay.
We've designed one all-inclusive package because Samoa's compliance obligations for international companies are straightforward — there are no annual return filings or economic substance requirements to navigate. Our package wraps the government licence renewal, registered agent, corporate secretary, beneficial ownership record maintenance, compliance reminders, and document management into a single transparent fee. One package, no complexity.
For companies newly formed through Expanship, first-year compliance is already part of your incorporation package. The annual compliance fee becomes applicable starting from the second year. If you're moving an existing Samoa company over to us, the package applies from the date of transfer.
No. The amount shown covers every line item listed in the package, with no surcharges or add-ons later. What's quoted is what you pay.
Bank transfer is our preferred payment method for a seamless experience. We also support debit and credit card payments. Cryptocurrency is not accepted at this time. Once you decide to move forward, we'll share an invoice with complete payment details.
The annual licence fee payable to the Samoa International Finance Authority (SIFA) is due by 30 November each year. We send reminders well ahead of this deadline to allow plenty of time for processing. Failing to renew on time can result in your company being struck off the register, so staying on top of this date is essential.
Yes. The annual government licence fee paid to SIFA is fully included within our compliance package. Along with that, you get registered agent representation, corporate secretary support, beneficial ownership record-keeping, and every other compliance essential — all under one price with no separate invoices for individual items.
The annual government fee, which is set by the Samoa 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.
