Création d'une société en Îles Caïmans

Important : le droit d'un non-résident de détenir la société ne lui confère pas automatiquement le droit de vivre, de travailler ou de la gérer depuis ce pays. L'immigration, le permis de travail, la substance, le lieu de direction effective et la résidence fiscale sont évalués séparément.

• —A passport or other acceptable ID for every founder, director, manager, signatory and ultimate beneficial owner (UBO).

• —Tax undertakings, fund classification, FATCA/CRS and international reporting are reviewed by form and investor profile; they do not replace home-country advice.

• —A bank or financial provider verifies identity, address, business purpose, expected volume/value, UBO/control and source of funds/source of wealth.
• —An investment structure also evidences investors, administrator, legal counsel, audit, asset flows and regulatory status.
• —Cayman incorporation and a tax undertaking do not guarantee a local or international account; bank eligibility is checked before applying.

• —The annual return and government fee are generally filed/paid in January through the registered-office provider.
• —Registered-office/CSP renewal and timely updates to directors, managers, members and constitutional records.
• —Beneficial-ownership information must remain current; the applicable filing is completed before the annual-return process is finalised.
• —Economic-substance notification/report, accounting records, audit, fund/regulatory and FATCA/CRS filings apply according to entity status.

• —Selecting an Exempted Company or ELP without reviewing the securities/fund perimeter can create an unplanned CIMA registration or licensing obligation.
• —A registered office is not operational substance; a relevant activity is assessed by actual people, premises, expenditure and decision-making.
• —Incorporation does not conceal ownership or disapply AML/KYC. Registered agents, registries, tax authorities and financial institutions may obtain and verify UBO information.

• —Preparation of a bank-ready KYB data room and responses to legitimate compliance requests; approval and timing remain with the bank or EMI.
