The Cayman Islands can be easily treated as suitable offshore jurisdiction that ensures ease of business entity formation, diversity of their types and plenty of incentives for business. Prifinance specialists have prepared for you a short overview of why it may be beneficial to consider this jurisdiction as your target one.

Forms of Legal Entities

If you think about opening a legal entity in the Cayman Islands, it is possible to do this in the next forms:
  • Limited Liability Company (LLC) – this form is the most appropriate for conducting business activities outside the territory of islands. In the case with LLC, the founders (members) are not liable for the entity’s debts and obligations and their liability is restricted to the value of contributions only. There is no minimum threshold for the share capital of this type of entity.
  • Exempted Company – more simplified rules for vehicle maintenance are applied here. For instance, it is not obliged to keep and make open for public inspection its register of members. It is also not obliged to hold the annual general meeting in the territory of islands; it may change its Memorandum and Articles of Association without restrictions, etc. This type of entity enables to reduce costs for its operation and the sums of taxes due.
  • Ordinary Resident Company – this entity is entitled to run business within Islands. It is open for public inspections and has to maintain the register of its members.
  • Ordinary Non-Resident Company – the entity can obtain this status if it is not going to conduct business in the islands but intends to perform this activity somewhere outside. Still, it should keep the register of members and be open to public inspections.
  • Overseas (Foreign) Company – an entity that is incorporated somewhere outside the islands, but can conduct business and possess land plots in the islands subject to certain conditions.
  • Special Economic Zone Company – as its title implies, an entity can enjoy certain incentives within special economic zones. Re-registering already existing exempted companies as special economic zone entities may appear as a good solution if you want to enjoy certain incentives.
  • Unlimited Company – the founders (members) of this vehicle bear unlimited liability over the entity’s debts and obligations.
  • Limited Partnership – may be formed by two or more persons to conduct business under one name. The partnership may have (i) general partners (at least one) who bear liability for all partnership’s debts and obligations, and (ii) limited partners whose liability is restricted to the sums of their contributions only.
  • Exempted Limited Partnership – this partnership is suitable for offshore foreign investors who can conduct business outside the territory of islands only. They can do business in the islands only to the extent this is required to operate abroad. This type of partnership reserves basic features of a limited partnership but ensures more flexibility for doing business. The existing limited partnership may obtain the exempted limited partnership status or it may be newly-founded.

Registration Requirements and Steps

As any other similar approach, Cayman Islands business registration has its specifics. Prifinance specialists may consult you and assist with completing this process successfully. Setting up LLC in the Cayman Islands generally covers these basic steps to pass:

    • Sworn affidavit that the future company will conduct commercial activities outside the territory of islands only.
    • Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) approval (optionally, required for certain types of activities only (like insurance, banking).
  5. Submitting the set of documents for the registration of a vehicle to the Registrar of Companies.
  6. Registration of the newly-founded entity for tax purposes.
  7. Opening a bank account.

Collaborated with the company for 3 years. I can’t say that everything was smooth from the point of view of organizing the work; there was confusion in the structure of the work, etc. But I’ll specifically highlight employee Lyubov Malinowski, she very diligently corrected all errors and was in touch at the right time, her help was significant in all processes and she approached all issues precisely. I would like to separately highlight the moment when she solved the problem at her own expense, which speaks of the person’s professionalism and increased responsibility.

As a software development crew at FewMoreTaps OÜ, we've had the pleasure of working with Prifinance on some key financial moves.First of all, navigating the world of corporate banking and finance can be a maze, but Prifinance made it feel like a walk in the park.

We had a slightly time-sensitive situation when it came to changing the beneficiary details on our account. Prifinance stepped up to the plate and handled everything quickly and professionally.It's not just about getting the job done. It's about how Prifinance does it. They're all about making complex financial matters simple and accessible for companies like ours. Plus, their team, especially Liubov Malinowski, has been nothing short of fantastic to work with - professional, timely and always on the ball.In short, FewMoreTaps OÜ wholeheartedly endorses Prifinance OÜ.

I'm thrilled with my experience with PriFinance! They helped me obtain a crypto license in Estonia without any hassle. The team was super understanding and always available to answer my questions and assist. It was great to see how they put effort into preparing the documents to ensure everything went smoothly. I'm delighted with the outcome and highly recommend PriFinance to anyone looking to get a license stress-free!
Opening an account with Prifinance in a Swiss bank was such an easy and quick process that I was shocked. It all started with the first call, where I received detailed guidance on the required documents and the entire procedure.One of the key highlights was their attention to detail. As someone who usually gets tangled up in paperwork, I was pleasantly surprised when they sent me all the documents and instructions clearly and neatly. No misunderstandings!Honestly, I expected opening a Swiss bank account to be complex and time-consuming, but thanks to Prifinance, I felt like a professional financial expert. Thank you for making this process so easy and enjoyable!
