Developments in the Nevis Financial Services Sector

For the past twenty years, the island of Nevis has been a popular jurisdiction for investors looking to fulfill their offshore needs in the areas of international business and limited liability company formation as well as the establishment of trusts and other structures. These services are provided through the 1984 Nevis Business Corporation Ordinance, the 1994 Nevis International Exempt Trust Ordinance, the 1995 Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance and the 1996 Nevis Offshore Banking Ordinance. Investors have found that by using the Nevis legislation, powerful asset protection and other vehicles can be created while at the same time providing a comfortable degree of safety and security.
