Country overview
About Nevis
Nevis is an island in the Leeward Islands of the Caribbean and forms a federation with Saint Kitts. Charlestown is the capital of Nevis. About 12,000 people live on Nevis. English is the official language. The currency is the East Caribbean dollar (XCD).
A Nevis LLC is used when that vehicle is required for holding. The Federation of St Kitts and Nevis is an independent Commonwealth state. Charlestown is a small registered-agent centre. The LLC is a legal entity under Nevis law. We form it because that legal home is required.
Brikseka forms Nevis LLCs. Incorporation is remote, typically one to five days, through a registered agent. No visit is required. No local director is required for a standard LLC.
We then advise on banking with the limits stated plainly. Stripe and PayPal are not available on a Nevis company. Nevis is not a merchant-account jurisdiction. Approvals for any account are decided by the providers. Forming a company is not a residence permit.
Company formation
We form a Nevis LLC remotely through a registered agent in Charlestown. Typical registry time is one to five days.
Federation of St Kitts and Nevis
Nevis is the smaller island of the federation. Charlestown is the capital; the East Caribbean dollar is the currency.
Holding vehicle
We form the legal entity where a Nevis LLC is required. Stripe and PayPal are not available on this company.
Tax setting
A Nevis LLC that does not carry on business in the Federation is typically not charged to local corporate income tax; an annual information return still applies. We confirm the live position before you proceed.
