St. Kitts and Nevis LLC and IBC

St. Kitts and Nevis offers two highly attractive offshore corporate structures: the Limited Liability Company (LLC) and the Exempt Company (functionally equivalent to an IBC). Both are governed under the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance and the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance, providing strong asset protection, complete tax exemption, and strict confidentiality for business owners. The jurisdiction is renowned for having some of the strongest charging order protection laws in the world, making it a preferred choice for high-net-worth individuals and international businesses seeking maximum protection of their assets.

Both structures offer zero percent corporate tax on income earned outside the jurisdiction, with no minimum capital requirement, and can be formed within one business day. Neptune Fiduciaries helps clients choose and establish the most suitable structure for their specific goals, managing the complete formation process and providing ongoing compliance support.
