Nevis LLC: Summary

Nevis Limited Liability Companies or Nevis LLC’s were introduced in 1995 by the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance (NLLCO), which was amended in 2002. This Ordinance regulates both Nevis onshore and offshore LLC’s.

Nevis LLC’s enjoy several tax exemptions and as a result are rendered tax exempted. A Nevis LLC pays no tax on income, profits, dividends, royalties, capital gains, duties and gifts. This makes it possible to invest and conduct business in a tax free environment to help maximize earnings.

We help eliminate all privacy concerns by offering a nominee member for the Nevis LLC at low costs. Nominees are representatives that we as the registered agent, appoint on behalf of Nevis LLC’s that we incorporate, if requested. The use of nominee members on the Nevis LLC further protects the privacy of a Nevis LLC during the course of its business.

You may order an offshore bank account for your LLC during the online order process.
