“The Cayman Islands (”Cayman”) is well recognised as the pre-eminent offshore jurisdiction among international investment fund managers and investors."

What’s in this guide?

Why Cayman islands?

The most common form of entity used for the establishment of funds in Cayman is the exempted company. This has also long been the vehicle of choice for listings on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Reasons to set up an offshore entity in Cayman:
Regulatory compliance: The flexibility of the Cayman Islands Companies Law is one of the main reasons Cayman is a leading offshore jurisdiction. Companies that take advantage of this favourable regulatory environment enjoy numerous benefits. The territory also offers easy compliance with HKEX listing rules within a legal framework.

Taxation and exchange control: Businesses are not subject to any local taxes (0% corporate tax) or stamp duties (20-year exemption guarantee). Furthermore, there are no exchange controls.

Ease of operation, maintenance and control: There is no minimum capital requirement to setting up a company. Only one shareholder and one director are required, and there are no residency requirements. There are no annual meeting or annual filing requirements. Companies are allowed to issue “no par value” shares. And there are provisions to protect assets including continuation into other jurisdictions.

Who’s this guide for?

This guide is for any company or individual who is thinking about starting a business in the Cayman Islands. Our guides are written using informative and concise language so that you get immediate value without having to read a novel or 100 blogs on Google!
