Explore the jurisdictions
Compare the legal form and ongoing work first. Bring a shortlist to the conversation when you want help applying it to your business.
Compare locations against your contracts and payments.
Company rules, bank requirements and annual costs differ by location. Tell us where you are based, who your customers are and how you expect to receive payments. We use those facts to discuss the formation route, banking preparation and administration each company will need. Our standard offer covers Delaware, Wyoming, the United Kingdom (LLP), Cyprus, Hong Kong, Seychelles, the Marshall Islands, Serbia and Belize. In Florida, the British Virgin Islands, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the UAE, Nevis, Scotland, Canada, Estonia and Hungary we work with a local partner and quote the price on request. Ireland, Malta, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Singapore are quoted on request after we confirm the partner, procedure and price.

Map residence and payments before the shortlist
Use the jurisdiction shortlist after mapping your residence, actual management, customer countries and supplier payments. A global business needs a coherent explanation of those connections; no destination solves all of them by default.
Before you choose a jurisdiction.
Where should I register my company?
Begin with your activity, the owners’ residence, where the work happens and the payments you need to receive. We can compare the jurisdictions against those facts, including the local services and recurring costs each route involves.
Can I run the company from another country?
That needs a review of where the company is managed and where its owners work. Registering abroad does not remove home-country obligations. An appropriately qualified adviser should assess the tax position of the company and its owners.
Should banking be considered before formation?
Yes. Check whether your intended institutions support the owners, activity, jurisdiction and countries involved before incorporating. Their final acceptance decision still depends on the application.
Can you help compare two jurisdictions?
Send the business activity, owner residence and customer countries, together with the options you are considering. Explain what attracts you to each so the discussion can focus on your actual decision.
Discuss the locations you are considering.
The lowest filing fee will not tell you which company can support your contracts and payments. Share your activity, where the owners work, and your customer and supplier countries. We can discuss which options deserve further review and what their setup and annual support would involve.
