Saint Lucia Holding Companies

A Saint Lucia IBC or LLC is ideal: 0% tax on foreign-sourced dividends, royalties, and gains, no capital gains or inheritance tax on foreign assets, strong privacy, and a stable common-law framework.

Structure for protection and succession

We design the holding structure around your assets and long-term goals — including succession and asset-protection considerations — choose between an IBC and an LLC, and handle incorporation, asset transfer documentation, and ongoing governance.
