Nevis Multiform Foundation Registration

A Nevis Multiform Foundation is a powerful asset holding and estate planning tool.

The Nevis Foundation is an attractive asset holding and protection tool that is embraced by persons with or without wealth. Similar to the Nevis Business Corporation (Nevis IBC) and Limited Liability Company (and unlike the Nevis Trust) it and its assets take on a separate legal identity to that of its Founder(s) or Creator(s).

The Nevis Multiform Foundation Ordinance is a relatively new legislation that was passed in 2005. As the name suggests, it has the flexibility to take on many forms as it can be treated as an Ordinary Foundation, a Partnership Foundation, a Company Foundation or a Trust Foundation.

The establishment of a Foundation is done by the filing of an original Memorandum of Establishment and by-laws (if any) and must be in English. The name of the Foundation has to be checked for its availability before it can be registered.

Benefits of a Nevis Foundation

  • Can change its function during its lifetime from a Trust Foundation to a Company Foundation.
  • Not subject to foreign judgments or foreign laws.
  • No taxes are applied to a Nevis Foundation.
  • Re-domiciliation in and out of Nevis.
  • Founders or Beneficiaries are not part of public records (Records can become public by filing the necessary forms).
  • Profits or gains of a Nevis Foundation are not taxed.
  • Provision for the conversion, consolidation or merger of corporate entity (ies) into a Nevis Foundation.

Nevis Foundation FAQ

Register a Foundation in Nevis

A Nevis multiform foundation shall not be subject to assessment or liable for any tax in Nevis and the beneficiaries of a multiform foundation shall similarly be exempt from all income, capital gains and withholding taxes.

The total cost for setting up a Foundation includes our professional fees, government fees, and disbursements. There is also an annual renewal cost which covers government fees and our professional fees as Registered Agent and Registered Office. Additional fees will apply if you wish for us to act as secretary, be a member of the management board, or be a member of the supervisory board (if any). Please contact us for our current fee schedule.

This varies, but the average time to have the registration of a Nevis foundation to be completed is about two days. Of course, this can be completed in as little as 1 day or as much as 3 days.
