Domestic Incorporation Services
Whether you choose to incorporate a domestic company for the purpose of conducting business in St.Lucia or to facilitate a property acquisition, we can assist and guide you every step of the way in making decisions regarding structure, shareholding, directorships and other procedural matters.
The main advantages of using a company are the limited liability status and the fact that a company has separate and distinct legal personality. After the formation of a company, the law recognises the company’s assets as being distinct from that of the individual. This means that the owner’s personal assets are protected even if the company runs into loss or financial difficulties at a future point in time.
Incorporating a company is a simple process which takes only about 7 days but there are nuances involved whether in getting the name approved or ensuring that all the relevant data is collected and the relevant forms correctly filled out. This is why many people choose to use the services of an experienced law firm to facilitate their company start-up. By using our company incorporation services you leave all the hard work to us and you can rely on our expertise and efficient follow up to get the job done.
Beyond the company incorporation process, we also provide reliable and efficient company secretarial services to those of our corporate clients who do not wish to have the hassle of ensuring that their companies are maintained on an annual basis. This is a particularly appealing service to our clients who do not reside in St.Lucia. Our associated business Suncrest Corporate Services ensures that corporate records are duly maintained, that annual returns are prepared and filed annually and that the company remains in good standing at the Companies Registry.
