Cayman Island Companies

The Cayman Islands has a thriving financial services sector with a particularly strong reputation for offshore hedge funds and private equity structures.

Company law is based on the English Companies Act 1948 and can be found in the Cayman Islands Companies Law (2007 Revision).

Company registrations in the Cayman Islands exceed 8,000 per annum. There are more than 80,000 companies currently registered, almost 70,000 of which are exempt (offshore) companies. 150 leading US Corporations have subsidiaries registered in Cayman, including Intel and Coca-Cola. Apart from enjoying a well-established legal system, Cayman is a politically stable British Overseas Territory.
