Reserve your company name
To form a company in the Cayman Islands, you must first reserve a name that is available for registration and meets requirements for appropriateness and uniqueness.
You’ll need to fill out a name reservation form and pay the required fee. Once the name has been reserved, you can proceed with the company registration process.
Prepare required document
There are a few documents required for the incorporation of your company, including
- A Memorandum of Association that details your company’s reserved name, registered office, share capital, and so on;
- Articles of Association that outlines your company’s purposes and internal conduct;
- Identity documents and residency proof of company directors, shareholders, and other key personnel.
Submit application and pay incorporation fees
You must submit the necessary documents and pay the registration fee to the Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies, either online or in person.
Once your application is approved, you will be given a certificate of incorporation, which will serve as proof that your company is officially registered.
Open a business bank account
Make sure you set up a separate bank account for your company to keep track of its financial situation.
You can open a bank account in various locations, including offshore jurisdictions, major financial hubs, or by opting for Fintech solutions.
Banking In the Cayman Islands
Cayman is a British-dependent overseas territory located in the Caribbean. The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority (CIMA) regulates and supervises the country’s financial services industry to which the banking sector makes a major contribution. The bank and trust company laws are the main legislative documents governing banking activities. All banks operate under strong anti-money laundering and combating financing of terrorism and have to comply with tax information exchange agreements signed with many countries.
CIMA adopts the Basel II framework which requires banks to maintain strong capital adequacy. Cayman Islands banking laws classify the banking sector into 2 tiers. Class “A” unrestricted banks are allowed to conduct banking business both inside and outside of Cayman. Class” B” licenses don’t allow banks to provide services within Cayman. As of 2023, there are 94 licensed banks in total, including 11 class “A”, and 83 class “B” banks. Most of these are branches and subsidiaries of large international banks from North, South America and Europe.
Required Documents:
