St Vincent in brief
Thirty-two islands and one of the region’s fastest corporate registries.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is an Eastern Caribbean nation of 32 islands, an OECS and Commonwealth member with English common law and an EC dollar pegged to the USD. The Financial Services Authority operates one of the region’s busiest registries, where Business Companies and LLCs can be incorporated through a licensed agent within 1-2 business days. The 2019 reforms moved taxation onto a territorial basis, placing foreign-source income outside the local tax net.
SVG has long been associated with trading and fintech projects, but company formation and financial licensing need to be kept separate. The FSA registers corporate entities but does not license forex or brokerage activity, and since 2023 requires firms in those sectors to demonstrate licensing in the jurisdiction where the regulated activity actually takes place. For trading, international services, holding, yachting and asset ownership, SVG remains a fast and cost-efficient jurisdiction, while the LLC adds Nevis-style charging-order protection.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
Common questions about company registration in St Vincent.
Can I open a company without visiting St Vincent?+
Yes. The entire process is handled remotely through lawyers and a licensed registered agent, with original corporate documents sent by courier after formation.
How much does it cost to set up an SVG company?+
Turnkey formation starts from $1,800, including government fees and the first year of the registered agent and office. Packages with account-opening support start from $3,400.
How long does formation take?+
Clean applications are normally completed within 1-2 business days, while the apostilled corporate-document set follows within the next several days.
Can I run a forex or CFD brokerage through an SVG company?+
SVG does not issue forex or brokerage licences. Since 2023, the FSA has required firms in these sectors to demonstrate a licence from the jurisdiction where the regulated activity actually takes place. An SVG company can serve as the corporate structure but does not replace the operating licence.
Will the company pay tax in SVG?+
Not on foreign income. Under the territorial system, profits earned outside the islands remain outside local taxation, while the standard 28% rate applies only to SVG-source income.
BC or LLC - which one should I choose?+
A BC works well for trading, services and holding structures with shares and directors. An LLC adds charging-order protection for asset-holding cases.
Are the owners visible in a public register?+
No. SVG has no public register of shareholders or beneficial owners. The information stays with the licensed agent and is disclosed only under a lawful request.
Does the company file accounts or tax returns?+
No accounts or tax returns are filed on foreign earnings. The company keeps internal accounting records and corporate registers with its agent and pays the fixed annual fee.
What about banking for an SVG company?+
Traditional banks can be cautious with SVG structures because of the jurisdiction’s historical association with the forex sector. Many companies therefore begin with EU or Caribbean EMIs offering multi-currency IBANs and SWIFT / SEPA, adding a conventional bank where the profile supports it.
St Vincent or Belize?+
Both jurisdictions are similar in cost and use territorial taxation. Belize has the faster electronic registry, while SVG combines low renewal costs with the choice between BC and LLC.
