How we help you open a company in Cayman Islands
One partner for all questions
Cayman is built for funds and holdings, but vehicle choice (Exempted Co, LLC, ELP), substance and banking decide whether the structure clears institutional review.
Futura Digital manages the entire journey — from initial structuring to a fully operational company with bank accounts and a resident team.
- Incorporation: Exempted Company, LLC or ELP formation with a Cayman registered office and corporate services provider.
- Tax setup: confirmation of tax-neutral status and economic substance analysis by activity (especially relevant for holding, finance and IP).
- Residency: not directly applicable — work permits for staff on the islands handled where needed.
- Banking: pragmatic shortlist of banks and EMIs that work with Cayman structures, with compliance pack and source-of-funds.
- Ongoing: annual government fees, ES reporting, beneficial-owner register updates and fund-level compliance where applicable.
