Vanuatu Company for Consulting & Advisory

Every serious offshore engagement starts with the same three questions: what are you protecting, where will you bank, and what will the structure cost to run in year three — not just year one.

Vanuatu remains one of the few genuinely zero-tax jurisdictions in the Pacific. For consulting & advisory, the Vanuatu International Company offers 0% corporate and income tax, formation in 24 hours and confidential registers — this guide explains where it fits, where it doesn't, and how to bank it.

Why Consulting & Advisory Businesses Choose Vanuatu
