In the Cayman Islands, a company name cannot contain the words royal, imperial, empire, municipal, chartered, co-operative, assurance, bank, insurance, gaming, lottery or any variation of these words or words that are similar in meaning without previous approvals.

We will prepare the company’s Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association (M&As) for submission to the General Registry. The M&A’s set out how the company is run, governed and owned and includes the responsibilities and powers of the directors and the means by which the shareholders can exert control over the board of directors.

We will make a subscriber declaration as the Agent Registered Office and file our declaration along with the M&As at the General Registry to incorporate your company in the Cayman Islands.

Once incorporated as Agent Registered Office we will act as the subscriber and prepare the subscriber meeting minutes to appoint the company’s first Director as well the subscriber share(s).

As the Agent Registered Office will only be the shareholder temporarily to complete the incorporation process, afterwards we will prepare the Share Transfer Form required to formalize the transfer of the initial shares from us as the subscriber to the client as the Shareholder.

In order to become a Director, you must be appointed and also consent to acting. We will prepare the necessary consent letters required to appoint the Directors.

If requested, we can prepare Share Certificates detailing the issuance of shares to the shareholder.

Know Your Client or “KYC” for short is the process we carry out to ensure we know who you are and that you are who you say you are.
