Nevis Company + Butterfield Bank Account
International entrepreneurs no longer structure offshore for secrecy — they structure for efficiency, asset protection, market access and banking resilience, all within a fully compliant framework.
This package pairs a Nevis LLC / IBC (0% tax on non-nevis income, formation in 1–2 business days) with a corporate account at Butterfield Bank in Bermuda/Cayman/Channel Islands — purpose-built for offshore companies, trusts and funds. Butterfield has served offshore structures since 1858 — it understands them natively.
Why This Pairing Works
Nevis delivers the structure: asset protection trusts and llc shields, no minimum capital, and charging-order protection and sealed ownership. Butterfield Bank delivers the rails: USD, GBP, EUR + majors with usd 50,000+ typical. The compliance narrative connecting the two — activity, corridors, source of funds — is what GoldenKey engineers before either application is filed.
Package Scope
- Full Nevis incorporation under the Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance with registered agent and office for year one
- Apostilled corporate document pack prepared to Butterfield Bank's checklist
- Bank application build, submission and compliance-query handling to decision
- Compliance calendar covering renewal (modest annual renewal) and bank review cycles
Frequently Asked Questions
Will Butterfield Bank accept a Nevis company?
Acceptance depends on activity, ownership clarity and substance — not the jurisdiction alone. Purpose-built for offshore companies, trusts and funds. GoldenKey pre-validates the fit before you commit.
What is the combined timeline?
Formation completes in 1–2 business days; banking typically adds one to six weeks depending on profile. Running both workstreams in parallel — our standard method — compresses the total.
Do I need to travel?
Remote for introduced clients for the bank. The Nevis incorporation itself is fully remote through our registered agent network.
One Engagement. Company + Bank.
We pair every incorporation with a banking strategy on day one, because a company that cannot open an account is not a structure — it is a certificate in a drawer.
