The Cayman Islands are perhaps the best-known offshore jurisdiction - and with about 70,000 registered offshore corporations, rightly so. All this financial activity has brought high-end tourism and a thriving service industry to the islands, which has contributed to an incredibly high standard of living - not only for the Caribbean, but worldwide.

The Cayman Islands Registrar of Companies is the regulating authority for incorporating offshore businesses, and generally is able to complete the offshore registration process in 24 hours. As long as the company's office is registered in the Caymans and the Memorandum of Association is submitted and there is at least one shareholder listed, the company can be registered. Shelf companies are also available.

Those wishing to set up a Cayman Islands company can do so as an Ordinary Resident Company, Ordinary Non-Resident Company, Exempted Company or an Exempted Limited Duration Company. Only one shareholder and one director is needed, no company secretary is required and the board meetings can take place anywhere in the world. Although there is no corporate taxation in the Caymans, your offshore company will be required to file an annual return.
