Opening Bank Accounts

Numerous international banks are open to working with Nevis LLC, requiring statutory corporate documents, including the Certificate of Formation, Operating Agreement, and identification for the members.

Court Proceedings for Nevis entities

The Nevis High Court may require the creditor to post a bond of $100,000 before initiating any claim. If the creditor is unsuccessful in the legal action, they will be obligated to pay the entity legal fees and court costs, as well as those of the opposing party.

Nevis law does not recognize foreign court rulings, requiring new legal action within its jurisdiction. Each creditor must file separate claims, as joint actions are not allowed. Lawsuits over asset transfers must be filed within two years, or they are automatically dismissed, protecting the LLC from future disruptions.
