FAQ
Samoa Company Registration Fees: What Clients Ask
Straight answers on Samoa company setup costs: how much each package is, what it includes and how to pay.
The Basic package (US$875) provides all essentials for legally forming a Samoa International Company: government fees payable to SIFA, preparation of incorporation documents, registered agent and office address for the first year, statutory registers, express worldwide delivery of your corporate kit, and complimentary Airwallex account opening assistance. The Premium package (US$1,499) builds on Basic by adding a company seal, original Certificate of Incorporation, Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, plus notarization and apostille on all corporate documents—with expedited 3-day processing instead of 7 days. The Enterprise package offers custom pricing for complex structures and bespoke requirements.
If your requirements are straightforward, or you don't anticipate needing your Samoa IC recognised by third parties—such as financial institutions or online platforms—the Basic package covers all legal necessities for incorporation. However, if you want a comprehensive solution that already includes commonly requested certifications like Certificate of Incumbency, Certificate of Good Standing, and Apostille authentication, the Premium package is the better choice.
Premium encompasses everything in Basic, along with essential documents including Certificate of Incumbency and Certificate of Good Standing, all notarized and apostilled for international acceptance. This matters when establishing banking relationships or registering your Samoa IC with third-party services—most require these certified documents. Choosing Premium upfront saves you US$300 compared to ordering these documents separately after incorporation.
No. The price shown is the price you pay. Each package is fully inclusive and every charge is itemised upfront, so nothing is added later.
Upgrading your package or adding services is possible at any point by reaching out to us, depending on your order's current status. Downgrades aren't available since certain commitments—such as professional fees or government charges—may have already been processed on your behalf. We suggest selecting the package that aligns with your expected requirements from the beginning.
Bank transfer is our preferred method, as it provides the smoothest transaction experience. Debit and credit card payments are also accepted for convenience. Cryptocurrency payments are not currently supported. After you decide to proceed, we'll share detailed payment instructions alongside your invoice.
Our pricing remains fixed without discounts. Market research will show that our rates are highly competitive—often among the most affordable available. We take pride in offering cost-effective Samoa IC formation without sacrificing service quality. Fixed pricing lets us give the same reliable service throughout your company's lifetime.
Our own work: advice on the right structure, due diligence on every member, preparing and coordinating the incorporation paperwork, handling the incorporation on your behalf, and the first year of registered agent and registered office. The government fees are set by the Samoa authorities, not by us, and are passed on at cost inside the package price.
