Check this page before you pay. If any of it applies to you, write to us first: we'd rather tell you now than refund you after due diligence.
We can't act for anyone who is a national of, resident in, or doing business with:
This follows the FATF "call for action" list and the sanctions regimes that banks apply. Residence or business links to other FATF "increased monitoring" jurisdictions call for enhanced due diligence.
Every client, beneficial owner, officer, protector and beneficiary is screened before we file, and again during the life of the structure, against:
A match, or ownership of 50% or more by a listed person, means we can't act. We don't help anyone structure around a sanction.
These cases aren't barred, but they take longer, need more documents and may carry a higher fee. Tell us at the outset.
Current or former public officials, their family and close associates. We'll need a source-of-wealth statement with evidence.
Operators with a licence from a recognised regulator, including under the Nevis Online Gaming Ordinance 2025. We'll ask for the licence and the AML policy.
Residence in, or business with, countries on the FATF "increased monitoring" list.
Precious metals and stones, cash-heavy retail and real-estate development funded by private lenders.
More than two layers of companies between you and the Nevis structure, or ownership through a trust or foundation elsewhere.
Where litigation already exists, we'll need a solvency affidavit and advice from counsel before a trust is settled.
Send us your nationality, country of residence, the purpose of the structure and, for a company, what it will do. We'll confirm within one business day whether we can act and what documents we'll need, at no charge.
If we decline after you've paid, because due diligence reveals something that wasn't disclosed, we refund the fee less any due-diligence costs already incurred, as set out in our refund policy.
