Why Nevis LLC?
The Nevis LLC is formed under the Nevis Limited Liability Company Ordinance (1995, strengthened 2015) and offers one of the strongest asset protection frameworks in the world. Nevis courts do not recognize foreign judgments, and creditors face extreme barriers to accessing LLC assets.
Note for U.S. citizens: A Nevis LLC provides asset protection but does not eliminate U.S. tax obligations. U.S. persons must report foreign LLC ownership and income. The structure protects assets from creditors, not from the IRS.
Charging Order is Sole Remedy - Creditors cannot force distributions, seize assets, or dissolve the LLC
3-Year Expiration - Charging orders expire after 3 years and cannot be renewed
$100,000 Bond Required - Creditors must post bond before initiating any proceedings
Beyond Reasonable Doubt - Criminal standard applied to fraudulent transfer claims
No Foreign Judgments - Creditors must re-litigate entirely in Nevis courts
Complete Privacy - No public registry of members or managers
Who This Is For
High-net-worth individuals seeking maximum asset protection from potential creditors and lawsuits
Business owners in high-liability professions (doctors, real estate developers, contractors) who need protection beyond domestic LLCs
Investors holding significant assets who want protection that domestic structures cannot provide
Individuals facing potential litigation who need to legally protect assets before claims arise
Entrepreneurs who want a holding structure for international investments with strong creditor protection
Families seeking multi-generational asset protection and privacy
Anyone building a comprehensive offshore structure, often paired with a Nevis Trust for maximum protection
