The Benefits and Types of Cayman Islands Companies

Incorporating a Cayman Islands company is a straightforward process and, depending on the type of company and business you plan to run, can offer advantages and benefits not available anywhere else. Let’s get one thing out of the way very quickly. Despite the popular tabloid fiction that the Cayman Islands is a lawless offshore hidey-hole for stashing ill-gotten gains, it is in fact a British Overseas Territory that works hard to offer companies and individuals around the world a low-regulation, tax-neutral business environment while still meeting stringent international tax guidelines and money-laundering regulations.

While other so-called tax havens suffer from a bad reputation and are often blacklisted, the Cayman Islands puts considerable effort into following international tax regulations and reporting, which is successful in keeping the territory off EU and OECD blacklists.‍

Company formation in the Cayman Islands allows owners a high degree of flexibility in operations and business opportunities, as well as low overheads, administration costs, and regulatory requirements.

Apart from zero taxation, built-in advantages include an incorporation procedure that can be completed at low cost in four days or less, as well as exemption from the typical administration requirements in other jurisdictions such as annual shareholder meetings and annual audits. There is also a high degree of privacy from public scrutiny of shareholder and director information, while this information is made available to foreign governments under international tax agreements when illegal activities are being investigated.
