Our Core Services at a Glance
Ideal for estate planning, wealth preservation, and shielding assets from threats that might occur in the future. Much more flexible and tax efficient than a will, the Nevis trust allows you to write your own rules about how your assets will be handled in the future.
A flexible, modern structure used to hold assets on behalf of a trust, manage bank accounts, and operate businesses internationally. Includes powerful charging order protections and minimal disclosure.
A classic offshore company used for trade, investments, or holding assets. Often chosen for simplicity, speed, and global banking access.
A hybrid structure offering the asset protection of a trust with the operational flexibility of a company. Can take the “form” of a trust, LLC, partnership, or foundation — and morph over time.

We are happy to make suitable referrals for the most frequent jurisdictions.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use these structures even if I’m not based in Nevis?
Yes. You don’t need to live in or travel to Nevis to set up a structure. All services are handled remotely, and structures are designed for international use. That said, Nevis is a great place to refresh and relax, where you will undoubtedly find a warm welcome.
Which structure is best for me?
It depends on your goals. Trusts are ideal for estate planning; LLCs are great for holding assets or acting as trustees; IBCs are excellent for active business; Foundations are best for hybrid or long-term legacy structures, especially where interaction with civil law systems is required. Reach out to us and we’ll help you choose the right one.
Are these structures legal and compliant?
Yes — when properly structured and reported, Nevis entities are fully legal for most global citizens, including those from USA, UK, Canadian and the European Union. In order to ensure full compliance with the laws of other jurisdictions, you should always consult licensed and suitably qualified professionals in countries where you have citizenship, residence, or other business interests. We are happy to make suitable referrals for the most frequent jurisdictions.
What’s the typical setup time?
Most entities are formed within 24–72 hours once documentation is complete. Rush service is also available. It’s important to note that the typical set-up time is longer than this, because it usually takes a while for the client to get the documentation complete. That’s fine too, because looking after significant assets is not a process that should be rushed.
Can these structures really protect against lawsuits or creditors?
Yes — Nevis has some of the strongest asset protection laws in the world. Foreign judgments are not recognized, and legal procedures for creditors are quite complex and expensive, including the requirement to post a bond before litigating in Nevis and pay substantial retainers to a Nevis lawyer. Most creditors simply give up at that stage, meaning that very few disputes actually make it to a Nevis court. That said, if creditors do litigate in Nevis, they are still up against the strongest barrier of all – the law.
