Wichtig: Das Recht eines Nichtansässigen, Eigentümer des Unternehmens zu sein, berechtigt nicht automatisch dazu, in diesem Land zu leben, zu arbeiten oder das Unternehmen von dort aus zu führen. Einwanderungsstatus, Arbeitserlaubnis, wirtschaftliche Substanz, Ort der tatsächlichen Geschäftsleitung und Steueransässigkeit werden gesondert geprüft.

• —Banking, insurance, trust, fund, securities and other regulated activities require separate permission and are not covered by ordinary incorporation.

• —A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director, manager, signatory and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).
• —Proof of residential address and tax residence; the registrar, agent, bank or other reviewer sets the document-validity period.
• —A transparent ownership chart through to natural persons and, for a corporate participant, registry documents, good standing and authorised resolutions.
• —A description of the product, markets, counterparties, expected turnover, source of funds and source of wealth, supported by evidence.

1. 01Select a Corporation or LLC based on ownership, governance, tax treatment and planned operations.
2. 02Verify the TCSP in the Nevis FSRC regulated-entities list and complete its AML/KYC onboarding.
3. 03The TCSP reserves the name, prepares the Articles and files formation data; bespoke governance is documented separately.
4. 04After incorporation, resolutions, registers/certificates are issued and BO, accounting-record and annual-renewal processes are established.
5. 05A bank/EMI application is made separately after checking entity/geography/activity acceptance.

• —A Nevis entity is not automatically tax-free: operating/management location, owners, income source, CFC and home-country reporting are reviewed.
• —Local business, employees, real property or regulated activity may create Nevis tax, licensing, payroll and substance obligations.
• —LLC classification may differ across member jurisdictions; tax advice is obtained before distributions and intercompany flows.

Allgemeiner Überblick, keine individuelle Steuer- oder Rechtsberatung. Die Vorschriften werden vor der Einreichung erneut geprüft.

• —FSRC AML guidance contemplates notarised IDs, proof of address, bank/professional references and source of funds/source of wealth.
• —A bank additionally reviews corporate documents, business model, counterparties, transaction geography, tax status, sanctions and PEPs.

• —Updates to shareholder/member, director/manager and beneficial-owner information with the TCSP/registry as applicable.
