St Vincent in brief
Thirty-two islands, one busy registry.
St Vincent and the Grenadines is an Eastern-Caribbean nation of thirty-two islands - an OECS and Commonwealth member with English common law, an EC dollar pegged to the USD, and a Financial Services Authority whose registry became one of the region's busiest: Business Companies and LLCs form within a day or two at some of the friendliest prices anywhere. The 2019 reforms settled taxation on a territorial footing - foreign income sits outside the net.
SVG owes part of its fame to trading startups, and here we are direct: the FSA registers companies but licenses no forex or brokerage activity, and since 2023 it requires entities in that business to evidence a licence from the jurisdiction where they actually operate. Used as intended - as a cost-efficient corporate seat for trading, services, holding or the charter fleets of the Grenadines - an SVG company remains exactly what it looks like: fast, private and cheap to keep, with the famous SVG LLC adding Nevis-style charging-order protection for asset-holding cases.
St Vincent and the Grenadines is an OECS nation of thirty-two islands under common law, with a dollar-pegged currency and one of the region's busiest registries: BCs and LLCs form in a day or two at the friendliest prices anywhere.
Taxation is territorial since 2019 - foreign income untaxed and unfiled. On trading firms: the FSA licenses no forex; since 2023 that business evidences its licence where it operates. Used as intended, SVG stays fast, private and cheap.

Talk to a specialist →FAQ
SVG without illusions.
Can I open a company without visiting St Vincent?+
Yes. Our lawyers and the licensed agent take KYC and the registry filing remotely; originals follow 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. With an account arranged, packages start from $3,400.
How long does formation take?+
Clean applications are formed within one to two business days; apostilled corporate documents typically follow within a week.
Can I run a forex or CFD brokerage from an SVG company?+
SVG issues no forex or brokerage licences, and since 2023 the FSA requires entities in that business to evidence a licence from the jurisdiction where they operate. An SVG company can be the corporate seat; the regulated activity itself must be licensed where it happens, and we structure exactly that way.
Will the company pay tax in SVG?+
Not on foreign income - the regime is territorial, so profits earned outside the islands stay outside the net; only SVG-source business pays the standard 28%. Tax where the owners and operations actually sit is its own line, and we go through it in the consultation.
BC or LLC - which one?+
The BC is the trading and holding workhorse with shares and directors; the LLC adds Nevis-style charging-order protection for asset-holding cases. Same price with us; asset protection points to the LLC, plain trading to the BC.
Are the owners visible in a public register?+
No. SVG keeps no public register of shareholders or beneficial owners; records are maintained by the licensed agent and disclosed only under lawful request.
Does the company file accounts or returns?+
No accounts or tax returns are filed on foreign earnings. The company keeps internal accounting records and registers with its agent and pays the flat annual fee.
What about banking for an SVG company?+
Traditional banks treat SVG cautiously (a legacy of the forex era), so most clients start with EU and Caribbean EMIs - multi-currency IBANs, SWIFT/SEPA - adding classic banks where the profile supports it.
St Vincent or Belize?+
Twins on price and territorial taxation. Belize has the faster e-registry and stronger LLC case history; SVG counters with the charter-yacht economy and slightly cheaper renewals. For pure speed choose Belize; for maritime flavour, SVG.
