Création d'une société en Saint-Christophe-et-Niévès — Nevis

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.

• —Closely held international companies with one or more owners and a straightforward governance structure.
• —An LLC for joint ownership, investment or a contractual venture after reviewing member tax classification.
• —Holding/asset ownership with a documented business purpose, lawful source of wealth and home-country tax advice.

• —A Nevis Business Corporation, a share corporation under the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance, often referred to as an IBC.
• —A Nevis Limited Liability Company (LLC), a member/manager structure with an operating agreement and a permitted single member.
• —A Nevis Multiform Foundation, a specialist foundation vehicle for selected estate, holding or charitable arrangements rather than an ordinary trading company.

• —A Corporation and LLC must continuously maintain a licensed Nevis registered agent/TCSP and registered office.
• —The Nevis FSRC states that a Business Corporation may have one shareholder and one director of any nationality and residence.
• —An LLC may have one member and one manager; governance, contributions, distributions and authority are set by the operating agreement.
• —The registered agent establishes UBO/control, maintains statutory details and performs ongoing KYC; changes are provided promptly.
• —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.
• —The proposed name, registered agent/office, shareholders/members, directors/managers, shares/interests and business purpose.

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.

Aperçu général, sans constituer un conseil fiscal ou juridique personnalisé. Les règles sont revérifiées avant le dépôt.

• —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.
• —TCSP onboarding does not guarantee bank onboarding; a local or foreign provider may require in-person/video identification or decline.

• —The annual government renewal fee and licensed registered-agent/registered-office renewal.
• —Updates to shareholder/member, director/manager and beneficial-owner information with the TCSP/registry as applicable.
• —Accounting records and supporting documents are kept for at least the FSRC-prescribed period; the FAQ states five years.
• —Tax, economic-substance, licensing and regulatory filings apply according to activity/status, not solely the place of incorporation.

• —Asset-protection or confidentiality claims do not override court orders, BO disclosure, AML cooperation or home-country tax reporting.
• —Incorporation does not conceal ownership or disapply AML/KYC. Registered agents, registries, tax authorities and financial institutions may obtain and verify UBO information.

• —Coordination of the registered agent, notary or local representative, translations, apostille and the complete corporate file.
• —Preparation of a bank-ready KYB data room and responses to legitimate compliance requests; approval and timing remain with the bank or EMI.
