Registered Office Services

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, all non-domestic legal entities are required to appoint and maintain a registered office in the Cayman Islands. While this is generally to ensure that each such entity has an official address through which the Registrar of Companies, government authorities or other third parties may formally communicate or serve documents, the registered office services may also include:

The provision and maintenance of the statutory registers of the legal entity (such as the register of directors, register of members and register of mortgages and charges)
Ensuring all resolutions passed by the entity are duly filed with the relevant registrar, kept on the minute book and changes to the constitutive documents of such entity are recorded and filed as required by law
Ensuring all regulatory filings and annual returns are made promptly and correctly
Forwarding all correspondence for the legal entity
Liaising with CIMA on any registrations or filings or payments relating to such registration
Obtaining certificates from the appropriate registrar (such as good standing certificates, incumbency certificates and tax exemption certificates)

Trade & Business Licensing

Under the laws of the Cayman Islands, an individual or a corporate entity that intends to carry on business must obtain a licence to do so. The most common form of licence is a Trade & Business Licence, issued by the Department of Commerce and Investment pursuant to the Trade & Business Licensing Act. A licence is required for each separate business operation even if a single entity is carrying on multiple operations.

All corporate entities intending to conduct business within the jurisdiction, i.e. locally must be majority Caymanian owned and controlled. If a corporate entity wishes to conduct business locally but does not have the requisite Caymanian participation, it must apply for a licence under the Local Companies (Control) Act.

Our team at Hampsons Corporate is able to provide the required assistance and advice in relation to Trade & Business Licenses. We assist with the entire application process, including renewals, amendments and cancellations.
