How long does it take?

Last updated: Oct 26, 2026, 13:23 (UTC+08:00)

After your KYC documents are approved: Hong Kong 1–2 business days, Singapore 1–3 business days, BVI 2–5 business days, UK 1–2 business days. If you order bank-account support, that runs after incorporation because institutions ask for the certificate first.

General Questions

Are there hidden fees?

Listed prices include government fees and, for Singapore, the resident director a non-resident must have. Some yearly costs the law requires are not part of forming the company and are quoted separately, with their price shown next to ours: the Hong Kong audit and the US Form 5472 filing. Optional extras, such as bank-account support, are shown as separate lines with their own price before checkout.

General Questions

Can a non-resident form an offshore company?

Yes. That is the core of our work. Almost every jurisdiction listed on our site allows 100% foreign ownership. Where the law requires a local resident officer (Singapore is the main example), that officer is included in the package price shown on the page.

General Questions

Can you open a bank account for me?

No service provider can guarantee an account because the bank or EMI makes the final decision under its own compliance policy. We introduce you to institutions that fit your activity, prepare the documentation with you, and guide you through the review. If you prefer to open the account yourself, choose Starter.
