Incorporate in Nevis

Fletcher Kennedy are specialists in the incorporation of offshore companies.

The English-speaking eastern Caribbean island of Nevis is twinned with the island of St Kitts. It is seen as one of the premier Caribbean offshore locations, with highly confidential and efficient commercial and banking systems allied to a stable political structure and sound wider economic environment.

The total population is around 40,000, and, since establishing independence from the UK in 1983, Nevis has instituted a constitutional parliamentary democracy, with large elements of both US and UK corporate law governing regulation of commercial activity. Tourism is the main local industry, closely followed by offshore financial services. The official language is English.
