Overview
The Cayman Islands offer their corporations many benefits including political & economic stability, fast incorporation, low registration fees, and the ability to own a corporation as the sole shareholder and director.
Privacy is one of the biggest benefits with a Cayman Islands corporation as no financial records or shareholder’s names are registered with the government, there is no public access to The Register of Directors and Officers or the Register of Shareholders.
Benefits:
- – exemption from all local taxes and stamp duty
- – maximum confidentiality and anonymity
- – ease of operation, maintenance and control
- – asset security
- – mergers with other corporations either in the Cayman Islands or in other countries are allowed
